The Municipality of Kula uses arms in three levels, lesser, middle and greater, as well as a banner. The arms and flag were designed by Tihomir Ačanski and adopted on 16 March 2012. The central charge of the arms is a red brick tower between two small crowned historical arms of the town, and the silver shield is framed by a blue bordure with gold ears of grain. Before that the municipality used an emblem in blue tones, with a cogwheel and ears of wheat.

Blazon

Shield

On a silver field an upright red crenellated tower of brick with two windows and an open gate with gold leaves, and at its sides, at the mid-height of the shield, two identical small crowned historical arms of the town — small blue shields with a gold crown, containing silver ears of wheat and agricultural implements. The shield is framed by a blue bordure strewn with gold ears of grain: three upright along each side edge, two horizontal at the top, facing each other, and two at the bottom, facing away from each other.

Crown

In the middle and greater arms a silver mural crown with three visible merlons stands above the shield; in the greater arms a gold lion with a red tongue issues from it, facing dexter, holding with both paws a lance with the flag of the AP of Vojvodina.

Supporters

In the greater arms the shield is supported by two storks standing on the compartment and holding shod lances planted in the ground, from which fly fringed flags — on the dexter the flag of Serbia, on the sinister the banner of the municipality, which repeats the motif of the shield. In the middle arms, instead of supporters, the shield is accompanied on both sides by water plants, reeds.

Compartment

At the bottom a watercourse, above it a gold band with four cellar openings with closed doors, and above all a grass-covered plain.

Ribbon

Beneath the shield a white ribbon with red ends and the Cyrillic inscription “КУЛА”; in the greater arms the ribbon stands at the foot of the compartment.

Banner

A square blue flag with a silver shield in the centre, bearing the red tower with open doors and the two small crowned historical arms of the town; around the shield gold ears of grain, three upright on each side and two each above and below the shield.

Earlier insignia

  1. until 2012Earlier coat of arms

    Before the present insignia were adopted the municipality used an emblem in the shape of a shield: on a blue field a light blue cogwheel with cross-shaped spokes and over it four white ears of wheat set diagonally, above them the stylised crenellations of a tower, and near the base a white band with three arches.
