The borough has a simple [[badge (heraldry)|badge]] described as "Eight Rays" [as in the arms].<ref name=civic/> A flag is used which looks like a [[banner of arms]] but with the [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]]s reversed, so that it has eight black rays on a yellow field. The rays are also a symbol of the world's first regular high-definition television transmissions in 1936 from the mast of [[Alexandra Palace]], one of the landmarks in the Borough of Haringey.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fotw.info/flags/gb-e-gla.html#haringey|title=London (England): Haringey|publisher=[[Flags of the World (website)|Flags of the World]]|website=Flags of the World|author=Jonathan Dixon|date=31 August 2006|access-date=22 December 2013}}</ref>

The arms is used in the mayoral regalia of the borough. The mayoral chain has the heraldic achievement hanging in a badge made out of 18 k gold and enamel, with the text "The London Borough of Haringey MCMLXV". The chain has stylized H's and hares sitting within laurel wreaths. The hares represent the name of the borough, since Haringey is believed to mean "a meadow of Hares".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sheilapeacock.co.uk/chain.htm|title=The Mayoral Regalia|website=www.sheilapeacock.co.uk|publisher=Official homepage of former Mayor Sheila Peacock|access-date=22 December 2013}}</ref>
