According to debate.com.mx: The coat of arms is the work of two professors, Heriberto Castro Esparza and Joaquín Acosta Bojórquez. It was adopted through a call for submissions from the council during the term of 1975-1977. Its jurors were Martín Vega y Vega, Clarita Santillanes Soto, Emeterio Castro López, Flaviano Cervantes Ahumada, and Ramón Hernández Rubio. The winner was announced on 11 June 1976.
The border of the shield, on the left side, carries a Christian cross for faith and a V for life (vida). To the right, there are two S's for improvement (superación) for the lands. At the bottom, there are two crossed hands for the union of two cultures, Spaniards and Cahitas. In the upper part of the inner section, the sun bathes the land with its rays of light, with footprints on the land, a macapule tree, and a Christian cross; these signify the Indian past, environment, and evangelization respectively. The confluence of the Sinaloa and Ocoroni arroyo is depicted. The lower-left section depicts the valley, with products such as cotton and corn. To the lower-right is a fish over water with clouds in the background, recognizing the fishing industry and the coast the municipality has. All of the aforementioned is contained in the shape of a heart, remembering its nickname as the "Agricultural Heart of Mexico". To the lower-right of the shape is 1916, when it became a municipality, and to the lower-left the year 1595, when Fray Hernando de Villafañe founded the city. Above the shield is a yellow ribbon reading "GUASAVE".

The coat of arms is bordered in red, outlined in black, white, and black again. At the top of the border is the year 1988 over railroad tracks, when it became a syndicate. Below this is a ribbon reading SAN RAFAEL; below again is a flower possibly representing rebuilding after it flooded. The coat of arms is divided into eight sections. To the uppermost-right is a tractor, below a scene with cattle by a tree, to the left a shed by some cacti and shrubs, below a chapel on a hill and waterwheel overlooking a head of cattle, and to the right an outline of a house in the valley overlooking its products, below the head of an Indian woman. It is split in half by the road that runs through the town. At the bottom, a building is also split into two because of this. Below is a canal surrounding the words BACOYAHUETO, the original name of the town.
