Coat of arms
A golden head of a rooster. The rooster is a symbol of light, rising sun, and song, rooster calls for both fight and work. Confirmed in 1938.

Flag
The green colour symbolises Madona as a green town with parks and gardens, but the white colour stands for winter since Madona is one of the Latvian towns most rich in show. The colours are split diagonally which suggests of the local terrain as Vidzeme Upland descends to East Latvia Lowland. Confirmed in 2003.
