Carmarthenshire-arms.png‎ (481 × 500 pixel, file size: 81 KB, MIME type: image/png)

Arms and Crest originally granted 28th August 1935 to the former County Council (abolished 1974).

The arms and crest were transferred by Royal Licence to the unitary Carmarthenshire County Council created in 1996, and the supporters and a heraldic badge granted in 1997.

The gold lions and indented division are derived from the arms of Rhys ap Tewdwr and his grandson the Lord Rhys. The design is completed by red Welsh dragons. The crest is a Welsh dragon supporting a harp, for Carmarthenshire’s musical traditions.

The supporters represent Wales (the dragon) and the sea (the seahorse). They are chained to signify protection and stability.

The motto is "Rhyddid Gwerin Ffyniant Gwlad" (A Free People, A Prosperous Country).
