The Municipality of Aranđelovac uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner, adopted in 2007. The insignia were produced by the Serbian Heraldry Society, and their author is Dragomir Acović. The shield and banner share the same design: the Serbian cross with firesteels on a red field and the Archangel Gabriel on blue. In the middle arms the shield is surmounted by a gold mural crown, and behind it is the white cross of the Order of the Star of Karađorđe. Until 2007 the municipality used a black-and-white emblem in the shape of a shield showing a building and the inscription “АРАНЂЕЛОВАЦ”.

Order

In the middle arms the shield rests on the white cross of the Order of the Star of Karađorđe, between whose arms are gold rays.
