In August 2023 the Municipality of Ćuprija adopted new symbols, whose author is Novak Novaković: heraldic arms and a flag, which also has a vertical variant. The new arms retain, in heraldic form, the motifs of the earlier emblem — two griffins, the arches of a bridge over water and the year 1215.
Before that the municipality used an emblem in the shape of a shield, in a small and a larger form: in the upper part a medallion with two griffins framed by the silhouette of a tower, and in the lower arches over water and the inscription “ЋУПРИЈА 1215”. Article 6 of the municipal statute described that device only in general terms — as a rectangle with a triangular projection in the middle of the upper edge and a lower end in the form of a swallow-tail, rendered in gold, red, white and blue, with the town's fortress.
Blazon
On a red field two gold griffins rampant facing each other beneath a gold crown. At the base of the shield, beneath a silver crenellated wall, a gold bridge with two arches over blue water with silver waves and the year “1215”.
A silver mural crown.
Two silver griffins holding flags: the dexter the flag of Serbia, the sinister the flag of the municipality.
The shield is framed by silver sprigs.
A silver ribbon with the inscription “ЋУПРИЈА”.
The flag of the municipality, also shown in the greater arms, is red with the gold insignia in the centre; it also exists in a vertical variant.
