The Municipality of Ljig uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner, produced to the standards of the Serbian Heraldry Society. The insignia were designed by Tihomir Ačanski, a member of the Serbian Heraldry Society, and adopted in 2006. The official flag is a banner with the composition of the shield, but on the municipal building flies a white flag on which the greater arms were subsequently placed, as recorded in a photograph of September 2007.
Blazon
A shield divided by a blue wavy river edged with silver: on the dexter, on red, a gold oak leaf with two acorns; on the sinister, on silver, blue plums on a sprig with green leaves and beneath them a blue fountain; the shield is edged with a bordure in counterchanged colours.
A golden crown surmounted by three golden oak leaves.
Two pheasants in natural colours; behind the shield fly the flag of Serbia and the flag of the municipality.
Green grassy ground.
A silver ribbon with the inscription “ЉИГ”.
A square flag with the composition of the shield: next to the lance a red field with a gold oak leaf and acorns, then a blue wavy band edged with white, and in the white field blue plums and a blue fountain.
Symbolism and meaning
The charges in the arms show the features of the area: the blue wavy band represents the River Ljig, the plums recall the fruit growing for which the municipality is known, and the fountain the healing springs of Banja Ljig.
