The central and most prominent figure is a Pelican in Her Piety. This image, an ancient Christian symbol, depicts a pelican that has wounded its own breast to feed its young with its blood. In heraldry, this represents self-sacrifice, devotion, and the willingness to give everything for one’s family or community, a quality that the Clan Gibbs would hold in high esteem. Below the central figure is a nest, symbolizing the family, and three small golden eggs, which represent the future of the clan and its potential for growth.

The entire emblem is enclosed within a circular strap and buckle, a distinctive feature of Scottish clan badges. Unlike a full coat of arms, which is personal to a chief, this badge allows all members of the clan to show their affiliation. The buckled belt itself is a symbol of fidelity, loyalty, and being bound to the clan family. Finally, the motto, Pandite Coelestes Portae, meaning 'Open the Celestial Gates,' adds a spiritual layer, indicating a focus on faith or higher aspirations, which would guide the clan's actions. Together, these elements paint a picture of a clan driven by faith, bound by loyalty, and dedicated to selfless service for their future generations.
