The first emblem of the city was confirmed in 1840. The second emblem was accepted in 1890, the third in 1967 and the present one in 2001.

The emblem of Baku represents a shield, which has a sharp-cornered shape in the bottom and rectangular in the top. Each part of the shield is bordered with a golden stripe.

The emblem has a blue background (the symbol of peace and free sky) with three golden tongues of flames of equal size.

In the bottom part of the emblem there is a vertical black-colored line, reminding about the presence of oil and occupying approximately 1/10 of the shield. The remaining part of the shield is occupied with turquoise sea waves.
