Design Elements
The central element is a green tree, "Vert eradicated," its roots exposed, standing firmly on a green "terrace Vert," a green mound. This naturalistic depiction highlights the area's strong connection to the land and the West Frisian "tree heraldry" tradition.
Flanking the tree are two fierce lions rampant "Gules," meaning they are red and standing on their hind legs, facing each other. Their "armed and langued Azure," indicating they have blue claws and tongues. These lions represent strength and the historic ties of the region to the province of Holland.
Above the shield, a crown is prominently displayed, symbolizing municipal authority and the official status of the Wognum arms during its period of use. The entire design is set against a silver (white) background, or "Argent," providing a clean and elegant framing for the other elements.

The lions, emblems of courage and power, represent the region's historical ties to Holland. Together, the elements present a visual story of the municipality's heritage, strength, and civic pride.
