The two figures emblazoned in the arms of Amiens are lily and ivy, which today still decorate the city logo. The unicorn is a symbol of the knightly virtues of purity and attraction to beauty and delicacy. Even today, the unicorn makes a number of references in the city: The [[Stade de la Licorne|eponymous stadium]], the coat of arms of the [[Amiens SC|Amiens football team]] as well as the award of the [[Festival international du film d'Amiens|Amiens International Film Festival]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://amiens.fr/la_ville_la_metropole/les_armoiries_damiens.html |title=Les armoiries d'Amien |work=amiens.fr |access-date=22 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130423192241/http://amiens.fr/la_ville_la_metropole/les_armoiries_damiens.html |archive-date=23 April 2013 }}</ref>

;Logo of the city of Amiens
In 1991, the municipality formed around [[Gilles de Robien]] designed a new logo, incorporating the Fleur-de-lis and the Ivy leaf present on the coat of arms, placed side by side in red with a background of grey or white, depending on usage.
* A [[Postage stamp|stamp]] representing the arms of the city was issued in 1962, this issue fitted into one of the ''Arms of cities''. Its power of postage was five cents. It was issued on 23 January 1962 and withdrawn from sale on 23 January 1977. A ''first day'' was arranged in Amiens on 21 July 1962. It was designed by {{interlanguage link|Robert Louis (architect)|fr|3=Robert Louis|lt=Robert Louis}}.
