The flag of Guadalupe is white with the coat of arms imposed upon it. Apparently, shortly after the adoption of the coat of arms, the council searched to adopt a municipal standard.

The coat of arms was adopted on 2 December 1980, under the term of Municipal President Humberto Cervantes Vega. It was designed by the teacher Israel Cavazos Garza, who sought the adoption of municipal coat of arms along with other municipal chroniclers in the state; he submitted it for consideration the Council, and an agreement was unanimously made to adopt it. The shield has the same form as the coat of arms of the State, having at the top a helmet and at the bottom a silver ribbon reading Ciudad Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon. It is divided into four sections.
The upper-left section is divided diagonally into yellow and white; the upper-left has an image of the sun and the lower-right a wolf. The first remembers the surname of Juan de Solís, founder of the Hacienda de la Santa Cruz, what Guadalupe was previously. The second is taken from the coat of arms of the surname of Nicolás Ochoa de Elejalde, founder of the Hacienda de San Agustín, a newer hacienda also from the 17th century. The upper-right section depicts, over yellow, an old hieroglyph of Tlaxcala, where families came from in 1715; it is two hands above hills, together holding a tortilla, the meaning of the name of Tlaxcala. The lower-left section depicts, over red, two golden stars for Our Lady of Guadalupe, the origin of the name of the city; representing the cloak of Guadalupe bearing many stars. Under this, a silver crown referencing the Señor de la Expiración. Finally, the lower-right, over silver, depicts a bear passing through a three; referencing the surname of Barbadillo, the one the founder of the city named Francisco de Barbadillo y Vega had.
