The design is inspired by the old 14th century coat of arms of the Losna family
(see the above link, sable five lozenges argent in fess between four fesswise
lozenges in pale). The colours refer to islands (blue) and sea (silver/white),
representing north-south oriented islands next to each other set towards west.
