Blazon: I sølv tre grønne trekanter, 1-1-1. In English: Argent three
triangles vert in pale.
Approved by the royal resolution of 6 February 1987 after adrawing by Einar H.
Skjervold. [c2j87]
The design is canting for the ancient place name Granungar, where "gran" means
spruce, therefore the arms depict green spruce trees. Almost 40% of the
municipal area is still today under spruce woods. Three triangles also stand for
the three centres in the municipality: Harran, Bergsmo and Mediå (so spelled in
[c2j87]).
