Arms of the County Council of the Royal county of Berkshire 1974 - 1998.

These arms were based on those of the previous Berkshire county council, but extensive changes were made by the College of Arms as the non-metropolitan county created in 1974 had a very different area than the former administrative county.

These arms became obsolete in 1998 on the abolition of the county council. Although the county continues to exist as a ceremonial county, it has no arms.

This image depicts a seal, an emblem, a coat of arms or a crest.

A coat of arms can be depicted in multiple ways, and may only be used on Wikipedia if the design is available under a free licence. Otherwise, the depiction is not usable on Wikipedia, as a free equivalent should be producible, and it thus does not qualify as fair use. Representations of coats of arms are subject to copyright as original works of art and do not fall under Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corporation's purview as they are not representations of two-dimensional works of art.

A seal or emblem, on the other hand, can only have one design. These are in the public domain if their copyright has expired; otherwise they are subject to copyright restrictions. In the latter case, it is believed that the image may be exhibited on Wikipedia under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. If you are sure that this image depicts a seal or emblem, please re-tag it as {{seal}}.
