The first coat of arms of Montreal was designed by Jacques Viger, the city`s first mayor, and adopted in 1833 by the city councillors.Modifications were made some one hundred five years later and adopted on 21 March 1938, resulting in the version currently in use. The coat of arms was the only city emblem representing Montreal until 1981, when a stylized logo was developed for common daily use, reserving the coat of arms for ceremonial events and occasions.
