Lviv's modern coat of arms is based on the coat of arms from the city seal in the middle of the 14th century—a stone gate with three towers, and in the opening of the gate walks a golden lion. Lviv's large coat of arms is a shield, with the coat of arms of the city, crowned with a silver crown with three edges, held by a lion and an ancient warrior.

Lviv's flag is a blue square banner with an image of the city emblem and with yellow and blue triangles at the edges.

Lviv's logo is an image of five colorful towers in Lviv and the slogan "Lviv — open to the world" under them.<ref>{{cite web |title=Heraldry |url=http://www.lviv.ua/uk/about/heraldry/ |url-status=dead |access-date=24 March 2021 |archive-date=22 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100122224547/http://www.lviv.ua/uk/about/heraldry/}}</ref> The Latin phrase ''[[Semper fidelis]]'' ('Always faithful') was used as a motto on the former coat of arms of 1936–1939 but was no longer used after the [[Second World War]].
