Coat of Arms

The arms of Svinarp can be blazoned as "Or, a pig passant Gules". They are used as shield-shaped table flags. The arms are canting, as "svin" is a Swedish word for "pig", while the tinctures are the same as in the arms (and flag) of Scania.
Elias Granqvist, 28 November 2010

The coat of arms is shown, i.a., at time marks 00′06-00′08 of season 2, episode 6 online. I drew the coat of arms based on Eugene Ipavec's drawing of the banner.

There seem to be larger shield-shaped banners behind the actors in the videos. The pig's right front leg is obscured, so the one in the gif is a reconstruction.

The mentioned table flag, edged red and with a red fringe along the fly (bottom); its shape is pentagonal. It can be seen, i.a., at timemark 28′13 of season 2, episode 6 online. It reads "Svinarps kommun" (Municipality of Svinarp) under the pig, in red sans-serif capitals. I drew the tableflag based on Eugene Ipavec's drawing of the banner.

A complete image of the charge can be found at the Lönegård & co website. It appears, they are the people who designed that symbol.
