Derivation of the Village of
Schaumburg Logo:
The “S” is formed of four willow leaves - one leaf
represents the residents of Schaumburg, one represents nature and the remaining
two leaves represent business and industry. The "S" is placed on a five petal
heraldic rose which was derived from the coat of arms of Schuamburg-Lippe,
Germany from which many of our early settlers came. This is surrounded by 10
more willow leaves representing the continuous effort that is expressed by the
Village through the theme "Progress Through Thoughtful Planning" which is in
keeping with the continuous effort by the Village of Schaumburg to maintain a
balance between its people, nature, business and industry.
