The Municipality of Koceljeva uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner, adopted in October 2007. The insignia were produced according to the rules of Serbian heraldry by the Serbian Heraldry Society, and their author is Aleksandar Palavestra. The shield is quartered diagonally in red and blue, with a silver fret over all and silver crystals in the fields, and the banner repeats the same pattern without the crystals. The greater arms are completed by a mural crown, two male figures as supporters and a ribbon with the years 1839 and 1960.

Blazon

Shield

A shield quartered diagonally, red in the upper and lower fields and blue in the side fields, over all a silver fret — a diagonal cross interlaced in the centre with a lozenge; in each field four silver crystals arranged 1, 2, 1.

Crown

A gold mural crown; in the middle arms the shield is surrounded by plum sprigs with blue fruit and green leaves, and beneath it is a ribbon with the name of the municipality.

Supporters

On the dexter an elderly man in nineteenth-century Serbian folk costume, with the tricolour of Serbia on a lance; on the sinister a man in a black town suit of the same period, with the banner of the municipality on a lance.

Compartment

Green grassy ground with plums, clover and white flowers.

Ribbon

A silver ribbon with the inscription “КОЦЕЉЕВА”, at whose ends the years 1839 and 1960 are written.

Banner

A square flag carrying the pattern of the shield without the crystals: a field quartered diagonally, red above and below, and blue at the lance and at the fly, with a white fret over all.
