Its Coat of Arms consists of a germanic field per fess, the base per pale. The first quarter in azure (blue) loads a tree whose trunk shows three human faces: one black to the dexter, another aboriginal on the center and another Spanish white to the sinister, all rising of a gold pennant with the Latin motto  "SUB UMBRA FLOREO" (I flourish under its shade) that also cuts the blazon. The second quarter  in gules (red) presents a "Bandola" or an autochthonous  type of little guitar accompanied up and down by two native "Carrizos" or pan flutes. The third quarter an arrogant bull raised on a ground, all in it natural enamels. Between the base quarters and like division between its appears an Argent   thread that expands towards the base. Like external ornament, the blazon shows a rising sun surrounded by a rainbow in Or (yellow), Azure (blue) and Gules (red) like crest and like supports a corn branch and a flowered cotton one at the dexter; another of sorghum and of flowered tobacco at sinister jointed by means of a gules pennant that charges the following ephemeris and inscriptions  made in golden and capital gothic letters: "20-2-1904" (February 2nd,1904) "CREACIÓN" (Creation) at the dexter; "04-1-1989" (January 4th, 1989), "AUTONOMÍA" (Autonomy) at the sinister and "MUNICIPIO SAN JOSE DE GUARIBE, ESTADO GUÁRICO", (Saint Joseph of Guaribe, Guárico State) under the base. The first quarter, in Azure for symbolize the High Ideals, the Loyalty and the Perseverance of the inhabitants of the Municipality, presents a representation of a legendary tree called "Samán de Guaribe": emblem par excellence and expression of ancestral roots and regional dignity. The second quarter, in Gules for remember the valor, the courage and the sacrifice which the Guaribensian offering for its profits and plenary development shows three examples of its crafts and  musical temperament: a "Bandola"  or little guitar variation of the Venezuelan national instrument, the "Cuatro" (four strings) and two "Carrizos" or pan flutes. The third quarter, in brown or natural ground, shows a wild bull exemplary of its chaste which symbolizes the intense cattle activity of the locality. The rain-bowed sun symbolizes Venezuela and its progress to which the Municipality contributes with it hard work. The corn, the cotton, sorghum and tobacco recall the diverse fruits of this prodigal part of the Venezuelan Mother Ground throughout their history and the pennant is the synthesis of the origin, values, identity and sense of property of the Guaribensian People.
    - Historical Synthesis: On 1992, Licenciate Jose de Jesus Bustamante, native of Guaribe, makes contact with the Symbollogist Raul Jesus Orta Pardo with the purpose of crystallizing a symbollogical project conformed by a Flag and a Coat of Arms destined to identify this Municipality of Guárico State. Once made specific the graphical concept and determined the corresponding interpretative and legal aspects, the project was presented to the competent instances at that moment, those that decided to maintain it in suspense. With the renovation of municipal authorities the necessity of provide own symbols to San Jose de Guaribe was reframed, which was crystallized on March 12th, 2002 when solemnly it were presented to their community maintained and respected the original proposal.
