Any illustration conforming with the blazon of the arms is considered to be heraldically correct. Thus several different artistic interpretations of the same coat of arms can exist.

The banner of arms of the municipality of Kalmar in Kalmar County, Sweden. According to currently valid heraldic norms and traditions, the proper flag of a Swedish municipality is the so called banner of arms. A banner of arms is essentially a coat of arms in flag form. It must not show the outer shield shape that arms are usually shown with, but it otherwise features the same design, adapted so that the contents satisfyingly fill up the available area. Any contingent accessories around the shield, such as crowns, helmets, or supporters, are left out.
The banner of arms stands in contrast to certain incorrect types of flags, such as ones bearing logotypes, or ones displaying the coat of arms as an escutcheon upon a unicoloured background. Such flags are inappropriate from various standpoints, including but not limited to heraldic, graphical, vexillological, and traditionalistic ones. Despite this, some municipalities utilize incorrect flags instead of the correct banner of arms.
In Sweden, municipal arms and their corresponding flags represent not only municipal authority, but also municipalities as geographies. The heraldically correct flag of a municipality may be used by the general public to express municipal identity, as long as proper procedures and customs are followed. The person flying the flag does not need acquire permission.
The arms of Kalmar can rightly be stated to be the civic arms with the oldest roots in Sweden. The first seal of the city, known from 1247 and scutiform, shows a tower above waves. This is a common subject in the arms of medieval cities, and the Swedish National Archives explain it as portraying Kalmar Castle with water flowing around it. The stars appear in the second oldest seal, known from 1302. Their purpose was to fill the empty space on either side of the tower, as the second seal, unlike the previous one, was round. At the same time, they contribute with making the arms stand out from other, similar ones.
Kalmar's arms, in their present form, were standardized through the confirmation of the King in Council on October 3rd, 1947. After the municipal reforms of the 1970s and changes to regulations regarding civic heraldry made during the same period, they were registered for Kalmar Municipality with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office on January 11th, 1974, with the following blazon: "In a field of silver a crenelated red castle tower with a door and window(s) of gold, issuing from a blue wavy base, and followed on either side by a six‐pointed red star."
