Various logos and emblems have been used to represent the Collectivity of Saint Martin. The most recent coat of arms used by the collectivity were adopted in 2010.
These arms depict various symbols of Saint Martin like the pelican, flamboyant and coralita flowers, the Border Obelisk [fr], 'slavery walls' (mur des esclaves, made of dry stone), salt, sea, sunrise, mountains, and seashells.
Other logos and emblems
One logo used by the territorial council, contains the name "Saint-Martin", with "Caraïbe Française" and "French Caribbean" written in small text below. A blue ribbon depicts the stylized letter "S", while a green ribbon depicts a stylized "M".
Another logo, used by the tax department, depicts a gray outline of the island of Saint Martin with a bird flapping its wing.

There is another coat of arms which was used before the new "emblem" competition in 2010. It features palm leaves in front of a sun to symbolize the tropical climate, a pelican symbolizing the fauna of the island, a hibiscus symbolizing the flora, a ship symbolizing the tourism-related boating and the words "Collectivité de Saint Martin" on the top. The commune that existed until 22 February 2007 used similar arms but with the legend "Ville de Saint Martin".
