The Municipality of Ljubovija uses a pseudo-heraldic emblem in the shape of a shield with landscape drawings and the name and the year 1871 written out, and not a heraldic coat of arms in the classical sense. The emblem occurs in two versions: in both, a white bird in flight, a chapel and a landscape with a bridge and river are repeated in the fields of the shield, while the Serbian cross with firesteels stands in one on a small shield in the centre and in the other fills the fourth field. Above the shield is a gold crown, and beneath it sprigs with red and blue fruit. Until 2009 the municipality used an extremely simplified emblem resembling a seal. The municipality's flag is white, with the emblem.

Blazon

Insignia

A quartered shield with a gold border and a dark chief bearing the white inscription “1871”: in the first, blue field a white bird of prey in flight; in the second, white field, on green ground, a grey stylised device of the same form as on the earlier emblem; in the third a green landscape with a stone bridge and a blue river; in the fourth a white chapel. Over the centre a small red shield with a gold cross and four firesteels. Across the lower part of the shield a red ribbon with the white inscription “ЉУБОВИЈА”, above the shield a gold crown, and beneath it sprigs with red and blue fruit and green leaves. In the other version of the emblem there is no central escutcheon: in the second field is a white chapel in a green meadow beside conifers, and in the fourth, red field a silver cross with four firesteels.

Flag

A white flag with the emblem of the municipality.

    Until 2009 the municipality's symbol was an extremely simplified emblem resembling a seal: a blue circle with the light blue inscription “ОПШТИНА ЉУБОВИЈА” around the rim and a stylised light blue device in the centre, in the form of two slanting wings separated by a vertical slit around a blue circle.
