Overview

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"It was confirmed at June, 17th, 2005 by the decision of city council session. The square panel divided from the staff bottom corner to the top free corner by a white strip (width in 1/4 of the gonfalon side) on green (from a staff) and red triangles. On the green part is white old oak with acorns; on the white strip are three black square facetted jewels.
Artemivs'k was found as Katerynivka village in 1910 nearby to railway station Kypyche (Vigorous) on the lands covered by oak groves, near outputs of coal layers on a surface. In 1912 there were given out the first party of coal - 45 poods (737kg) from a "Diamond" mine. Since October, 1938, city carries the modern name. Znak N36, 2005."

The first layer of coal from which has begun industrial extraction, had the name "Diamond". Overturned chevron means the special mountain-geological structure of mine.
