It appears Pinal de Amoles does not use a municipal flag; it uses, rather, a council flag that uses its coat of arms; and around it, its name, council administration years, and council name. Municipal President María Guadalupe Ramírez Plaza started this trend in 2021, and has continued it in this current one (2024-2027) in which she is also Municipal President. Before this, two Mexican flags were used instead.

The coat of arms was adopted in 1985, being adopted through a contest held by the Municipal Council; this was asked for by the State Government. There were three participants; the design by Prof. Arturo Flores Arellano was adopted, with some modifications to its original description made by the Municipal Chronicler regarding the history it references. The coat of Pinal de Amoles has the form of a shield, with its inner section in white depicting a circle with decorations to its sides. Above this circle spreading its wings signifying hospitality, having to its left a shovel and pick for the exploitation of gold (mining), motive for its foundation. To its right, a cross and sword are found as the primary Spanish tools, for evangelization and conquering. The eagle rests on a sweet potato of the "Amolli" type (with the function of a detergent), reading under it "PINAL DE AMOLES" on a trunk of wood, with four pinecones hanging from it hence the "Pinal" (place of pines) from it. To the sides of the eagle are ferns representing its evergreen environment. In the circle, a tree is placed in the center over the sky representing its use as a resource, with 1932 inscribed over it for the year it became a municipality. To its sides, the Cerro de la Media Luna is depicted, representing the Jonaz Indian struggle against the Spaniards for centuries; this served as a natural barrier between the two. The circle is enveloped in the shape of a tree trunk, with its end cut off seen at the bottom.
