In 2000, by a decision of the deputies of the city council, a competition was announced for the best project for the coat of arms of Neftekumsk. The competition was attended by both professional artists and students of general educational institutions of the city. In total, about 20 sketches were submitted to the competition commission. According to the results of the competition, the project of the director of the Neftekumsky Children's Art School Tatyana Ivanovna Butova was recognized as the best. The emblem developed by her was a shield divided crosswise into four equal parts. In the upper right azure field of the shield and the upper left gold field were placed the numbers 45, indicating the geographical coordinates of Neftekumsk, which is located at the intersection of the 45th parallel of north latitude and the 45th meridian of east longitude. In the lower right gold field, a construction trowel and figures 1958 (the city’s founding date) were depicted, and in the lower left azure field, petrochemical structures were designed to symbolize the main specifics of the “city of oil workers”. In the heart of the shield, a scarlet circle was placed, encumbered with the image of a stele "Europe - Asia", installed at the entrance to Neftekumsk. Gold and azure symbolized the location of the city on the border between Europe and Asia [3] [7] [8] .
On December 26, 2001, this emblem, as well as the flag developed on its basis, were approved by the City Council as official symbols [6] . The coat of arms of the city of Neftekumsk was “wrong” (that is, it did not comply with the rules of heraldry) and for this reason was not registered with the Heraldic Council under the President of the Russian Federation [9] . Later, members of the heraldic commission under the governor of the Stavropol Territory developed a project of the “right” coat of arms of the following content:
In the golden field of the shield, dotted with black drops, there is a azure "river" in the form of a wavy belt.
- N. A. Okhonko “Symbols of a Small Homeland” [10]
The coat of arms concept was based on “the name of the city that was built in the lower reaches of the Kuma in connection with the discovery of oil here, often called“ black gold “” . This project remained unapproved, however, the ideas embodied in it were used in the development of the coat of arms of the Neftekumsky District [10] .
