A narrow wavy belt of azure color is depicted in the lower part of the shield. The belt is saddled with three silver fountains that extend beyond the top of the belt. The colors of the fountains are variable with the colors of the belt. Fountains are associated with the legend of the origin of the city. According to legend, the city was founded at the source of the river, where there were a lot of keys and it seemed that the water was worried. Hence the name of the city - "Wave".

The shield is framed by two stalks of cereal, made of natural flowers. The stems symbolize that agriculture is the main branch of the city’s economy. The stems are entwined with azure ribbon. At the bottom of the ribbon in gold letters is written "Wave".

The colors of the coat of arms and the belt with fountains are repeated on the flag of Volnovakha.
