Summary

Description
English: Coat of arms for the municipality of Namsos (kommune), Norway: Gules a moose head couped horns displayed Or. The coat-of-arms was granted on 5 May 1961. The arms show a golden moose on a red background. The moose was chosen as a symbol for the municipality, since Namsos is the capital of the forest-rich Namdalen region, and the moose is the "king of the forest". The arms are an excellent example of the mid-twentieth century artistic style of the herald Hallvard Trætteberg. The moose head is drawn with horns displayed rather than in natural position to make the head fill the shield surface as much as possible.
Norsk bokmål: Namsos kommunevåpen: "På rød bunn et gull elghode."[1] Byvåpenet til Namsos viser en gul elg på rød bakgrunn. Elg er et sentralt tema i byen på grunn av den store elgbestanden i området.
