The designs prepared incorporate various themes which are prominently characteristic of County Roscommon past and present. All of these themes appear in the design selected.
 
The name of the county itself is first recalled by the green area in the upper part of the shield, representing the ROS of Ros Comain. Whether ROS be understood to mean a wood or a level tract of land, the green colour suffices as an indication. On this is placed a cross, as a recollection in general of the Saint, Coman, and the Abbeys of Roscommon and in particular of the association of the Cross of Cong with the County. The antique crown below recalls Rathoroghan, where, according to Mac Firbis, "most of the kings of the race of Hereman were buried'. The ram's head represents the county's importance as a centre of sheep-rearing. To bring the story of  Roscommon  down  to  its  present  day,  the  fact that Dr. Douglas Hyde, first President of Ireland, was born in the county is recalled by the introduction of an oak branch in memory of "An Craoighin Aoibhinn".
 
The motto, CONSTANS HIBERNÍAE COR, not only suggests the physical location of the County but sums up happily the enduring character of the themes represented in the design.
