Blazon: På gull grunn to svarte vogner, 1-1. In English: Or two black wagons
in pale.
Approved by the royal resolution of 24 April 1992, after a design by Daniel
Rike. (http://www.e-h.kommune.no/fakta-om-evje-og-hornnes-kommune.4724716-151821.html)
The local description of the design talk about "gruevogner" instead of the
general "vogner" used in the official blazon, thus specifying "mine carts" being
depicted. The mining was of utmost importance in the region, one of the largest
nickel mines being in the municipality. The two carts represents the two
previous municipalities of Evje and Hornnes that were joined into a single one
in 1960.
