West Bačka District, Region of Vojvodina

The Municipality of Odžaci uses pseudo-heraldic insignia of unusual form, resembling a shield, with the inscription “ОЏАЦИ” and the years 1557 and 1944. The green field is framed by two large yellow ears of grain, and in the centre are an upright white figure with a red centre and a laboratory flask. An earlier version of the same insignia also had a five-pointed star above the central figure.
