Los esmaltes principales del escudo, plata y sinople verde, propios de las cañas de azucar florecidas, simbolizan al que fue principal producto agricola y primera fuente de riqueza de Maunabo durante decadas. La cabria alude a las dos hileras de montañas, despuestas en forma de v, es decir, las sierras de Pandura y de Guarderraya, que por dos lados resguarda a la poblacion. El faro representa al centenario faro de Punta Tuna, edificio caracteristico de la localidad los yugos por ultimo, como emblemas de la agricultura simbolizan al primitivo patron del pueblo, San Isidro Labrador.
La corona mural es timbre disinctivo de las municipalidades.

The main colors of the shield, silver and heraldic green, typical of flowering sugar cane, symbolize what was the main agricultural product and the first source of wealth for Maunabo for decades.
