The coat of arms of Vilnius is the official heraldic symbol of the city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. It is also used as the emblem of the Vilnius City Municipality. The modern version was designed in 1991 by Arvydas Každailis, the same artist who created the current coat of arms of Lithuania. The design is based on the oldest seals of the Vilnius City Council, which date back to the 14th century.
