The Coat of Arms is a shield of French heraldic form, the base of which is equal to eight-ninths of the height, with a point protruding in the center of the lower part of the shield. The lower corners of the shield are rounded. The shield is divided by a St. Andrew's cross (an oblique cross formed by two diagonal stripes). The upper and lower sectors have a gold background symbolizing justice, mercy, wealth, independence, and fertile fields. In the left and right sectors, green symbolizes joy, freedom, peace, tranquility, and the Chupinsky pine forest. At the bottom of the shield, blue symbolizes the main waterway—the Charysh River, against the background of which the year of the formation of the Shipunovsky County is marked. Red symbolizes courage and generosity. In the center of the shield is the stele of the County. Ears of grain radiate from the base of the stele – a symbol of agriculture, fertility, rebirth, and economic prosperity. In the right sector of the shield is a mill, symbolizing the leading industry – the processing of agricultural products. In the left sector of the shield is a bull, symbolizing labor, patience, fertility, and animal husbandry.
