On 1 January 2020 Stavanger Municipality merged with Finnøy Municipality and Rennesøy Municipality. During this merger, the new Stavanger Municipality retained its old symbols.

Some variants have been used in practice. An older one with dimensions of 1:1, and the newer versions only have the leaves gathered closer as on the coat of arms.

Coat of Arms

Based on the [c2j87]
The Norwegian blazon is: På blå bunn en liggende avkvistet gull vinranke med blad og slyngtråder.
In English that would be: azure per fess a vine branch couped with leaves and tendrils or.
The coat of arms and the flag were approved by the royal resolution of 11.08.1939, drawn by Hallvard Traetteberg.
The design is based on the oldest city seal of 1591. Since ca. 1814 a heraldic arms depicting a stump with three oak leaves was used, but when the old seal was found, it was considered as a better choice. As the seal had no colours, the blue and gold were chosen from the stripes of the oldest preserved city flag of ca. 1660. [c2j87] provides several theories of what a leaved vine branch should mean, but none is conclusive.
