In the eighteenth century, Gimel had a communal seal with seated twins, legs crossed. This sign of the zodiac recalled the name of the locality, known from the twelfth century, and was already on the sign of the hostel Aux Jumeaux in 1821. | |||
The current arms were adopted in 1921, with the colours of [[Romainmôtier]], to which the primitive chapel mentioned in 1139 belonged, which later became parish the church. | |||
