The division of the shield is suggested by the chevron in the arms of the Esher UDC, this was derived from the arms of the d'Abernons, the colours blue and gold are from the arms of the Warennes, Earls of Surrey, the Surrey County Council and the arms of both constituent authorities. The two sprigs of oak like those in the County's arms signify two Surrey authorities. The elm on a bridge is an obvious reference to the name of the Borough, derived from the ancient Hundred of Elmbridge, which was largely coterminious with the present Borough. The bridge has two arches for the union of two authorities and the waves refer to the rivers Thames, Mole, Wey and Ember.
The gold Saxon crown from the crest of the Walton and Weybridge UDC, refers to the Saxon Hundred of Elmbridge, whose Moot was held at the bridge over the River Mole. The mound represents Esher Common, on which stands the white griffin from the Esher arms, derived from the arms of the Evelyns of Wotton, Cardinal Wolsey and the Reeds of Oatlands. The nine pointed star on the pennon symbolizes the union of nine civil parishes in the Borough.
The supporters combine the white eagle from the arms of Esher with the red eagle from the arms of Walton and Weybridge. In the former, it was derived from the arms of Merton Priory, landowners in Molesey for four centuries, and in the later it refered to the area's Roman associations. The sprigs of elm with two leaves are a further reference to the two former authorities and the Tudor roses are from the arms of Walton and Weybridge.
The motto is a variation of that previously used by Walton and Weybridge UDC.
