The motto is 'Turris fortissima est nomen Jehova' translating as "The name of Jehovah is the strongest tower" and is taken from the Proverbs of Solomon. The crest is a blue naval crown, which replaced the inaccurate crown on the earlier arms, and a red anchor held aloft by a golden lion's paw: this is taken from the old Devonport arms and represents the naval connection. The two supporters have red medallions charged with a silver boar's head: these are taken from the arms of the Mount Edgcumbe family, who held the Manor of East Stonehouse. These colours are used in the design of the Plymouth Data Website: the green from Plymouth, the navy blue from Devonport and the red from East Stonehouse.
