Coat of arms of Lekeberg
Lekeberg Municipality’s graphic manual treats the municipal arms as part of its official visual identity. Municipal decision documents show that external use of the arms is considered case by case.
Swedish description in the Heraldica record
I svart fält ett rådjursansikte av guld med röd beväring.
Lekeberg’s sources address the graphic identity and use of the arms; they do not confirm that the registry description shown here is an official blazon. Registry information is kept separate from the source-based editorial text.

The arms within the graphic identity
The municipal arms form part of Lekeberg’s shared visual profile in the graphic manual adopted in 2011. The manual is intended to help the municipality use its identifiers and other graphic elements consistently; it does not provide a separate official blazon here.

Decisions on external use
Municipal documents state that external use of the arms is considered case by case. In the 2025 preparation of a case concerning a book series, officials proposed use inside the book but not on its cover; the final decision could not be verified in the reviewed meeting material. The sources do not describe the motif’s historical origin or symbolism.

Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
