Designed officially during the council of 1968-1971, adopted as an official coat of arms during the administration of 1983-1986,
and protocolized as such during the administration of 2001-2004. The coat of arms is shaped as a scroll, with a circular device centered
horizontally on it but going slightly above. The circular device depicts to its left a branch of flowers and to its right a branch of leaves.
The circular device itself depicts the border fence and the Rio Grande, with two crossed swords above symbolizing the Revolution (remembering
the place's namesake, a revolutionary general), three flecks of cotton for agriculture, and a cattle head for cattle-raising. Below the device
is an image of the St. Ignatius of Loyola church found here; just below is a black star representing the five cardinal directions. Above the
scroll is a form of mantling enveloping the symbol. Just above it is a ribbon reading "SAN IGNACIO", the original name for the place.
Below is a ribbon reading "DE PRAXEDIS G. GUERRERO CHIHUAHUA". Another ribbon is found just below reading a motto, "CONOCER MI
PATRIA PARA SERVIRLA". [Know my Motherland to Serve Her].

Apparently found on a door in wood of the Municipal Presidency, it is unclear when it was adopted, but it is known that it was probably before 1968.
In a rectangular form like antique paper, it reads at the top "SAN IGNACIO" and below "PRIMERO LA PATRIA: [THE MOTHERLAND FIRST]. In the center
is the shape of a shield, at the top of it reading "P.G. GUERRERO" and "DE CHIHUAHUA" just below. At the bottom of the shield shape is the year
1849, the foundation year of the town. The inner design of the shield is divided into 9 cubes. The corners are pink. At the upper-left is a cotton plant for agriculture,
at the upper-right a boot for leather-working, at the lower-left what appears to be a yucca plant as a symbol of the desert, and at the lower-right a cattle head for
cattle-raising. The center-left and center-right cubes are composed of 12 cubes alternating in yellow and red. The central cube over yellow depicts the Rio Grande;
to the north bank "U.S.A." and to the south bank "MEXICO", with the national tricolor planted upon the river. Above it over black is a
cloud for the clear skies; below on black is an image of the St. Ignatius of Loyola church, a symbol of faith.
