Bussnang carries the coat of arms of the Barons of Bussnang.
In 1996 Bussnang merged with Friltschen, Lanterswil, Mettlen, Oberbussnang, Oppikon, Reuti and
Rothenhausen. The emblems of six of those villages are depicted below. The new commune of Bussnang kept
the emblem of old Bussnang.
In red a half left-turned yellow bear with white teeth and white collar.
The bear refers to the monastery of St. Gallen, the red and yellow colours to the high courts of the
bailiwick.
Red and yellow divided three times by chevrons pointing up.
The emblem is a more recent creation with the shield of the Lords of Bussnang in the colours of the
dominion of Thurgau.
