History of coat of arms
The emblem of the city of Okha, approved on August 9, 1993, became the prototype of the coat of arms of the Okha district. The Union of heraldry of Russia made a heraldic refinement of the color range of the coat of arms without changing its design.
At various times, coat-shaped souvenir badges with the emblem of the city of Okha were produced.
The badge, released in 1969, depicts: a heraldic shield dissected by blue and silver; on top of the whole is a golden oil rig; in the spike-shaped azure silver-edged tip of a golden fish ; in the scarlet chapter - the name of the city in gold.

In 1994, another souvenir emblem-like emblem was released: the shield was azure-green with a silver-azure-scarlet head, on which the name of the city is gold. On the right side of the shield there are two black and gold oil rigs on the right side against a scarlet rising sun on the black extremity separated by a gold wavy belt, and a gold seal separated by a gold wavy belt accompanied by a golden bear at the top on the azure rising sun.
