Blue with CoA centered. Rounded shield with a white border, a white chevron on blue in chef separated from the black point by a white wavy fess?

I corrected the one sent previously, because I included in the GIF of the CoA a white border that seems to be used only in the flag.

Translated from http://www.viimsivald.ee/yldinfo/symboolika.html :
"Coat of Arms - On a blue shield, from upper edge two downward reaching straight lines form a sharp V-shape. This shape rests on a wavy formation, all in silver. The base of the shield is of black color.
Reasoning - The colors of the Coat of Arms are derived from the national flag of Estonia. Silvery wave form base depicts sea-waves that symbolize the connection of Viimsi with the sea. Silvery V-shape is meant to be the V in the name of the rural District of Viimsi and also hints to a connection with ships (or boats)."
The white color is supposed to be silver.
