The blazon of the municipal coat of arms of Zell unter Aichelberg reads: Under a golden shield head covered with a lying black deer pole in red an armored golden link arm .
A mayor's office seal dates from the early 19th century, which without a shield contains the letter Z over two diagonally crossed leaves. The Z was still used in an official seal in 1930. In 1931, today's coat of arms was added to the official seal. The left arm, in which the sword has been omitted for simplicity, stands for the local nobility, the Lords of Zell. The stag bar stands for the Wuerttemberg affiliation of the place since the 14th century. Since no colors have survived from the local nobility coat of arms, they were freely chosen in 1949. The coat of arms and flag were awarded on February 19, 1959 by the Ministry of the Interior. The flag colors of the place are yellow-red.

Culture and sights
Worth seeing
- In the center of the village is the Protestant St. Martin's Church , named after Martin von Tours . The main parts of today's church date from 1386. After a lightning strike in 1667, the Martinskirche received its characteristic spire. Inside, murals were discovered on the north wall and in the choir in 1907 . They date from the first half of the 15th century. The themes of the pictures laid out in three rows and separated by wavy bands are:
- Last Judgment (north wall, left and right of the middle window)
- Veronica with the handkerchief (north wall, bottom left)
- Childhood story of Jesus (top row, starting on the north wall with the Annunciation , continuing on the choir walls, ending there with the flight to Egypt )
- Passion (middle row of the choir walls, beginning with the Mount of Olives scene , ending with the Entombment )
- Martyrdom of the Apostles (lower row, beginning on the north wall with John in the boiling oil, ending with Andrew on the forked cross on the choir wall on the right)
- The colored choir window in the middle of the frescoes was deliberately designed non-representational by Wolf-Dieter Kohler in 1963 .
- Thanks to numerous efforts by the municipality and the population, the municipality was able to achieve 1st place at the district level in the state competition Our village should become more beautiful in 1994. A year later, the community received the gold medal at the state level. One of the decisive factors for these successes was certainly the redevelopment of the town center, in which the appearance of the municipality was lovingly designed.
- A more recent landmark that has emerged from this is the Schäferbrunnen , which is located in the center of the village opposite the town hall.
- In the town hall there is a permanent exhibition of pictures by the painter Margret Hofheinz-Döring , who lived in Zell from 1974 to 1993. A memorial room in the attic is dedicated to her.
