The Municipality of Pećinci uses arms in three levels — greater, middle and lesser — and a banner. The insignia were produced by the Serbian Heraldry Society, and according to its list the author of the arms is Dragomir Acović. The shield is divided by a crenellated line into a blue and a black field: in the upper are two herons beside a sheaf of wheat with crossed blades, tied with a tricolour ribbon, and in the lower an arched field filled with red and gold points. The greater arms have a blue lion and a stag as supporters, bearing the flag of Serbia and the municipal banner, and the banner itself — a square blue flag with a red cross and four yellow ears of grain — has been in use since about 2002.

In the black field, at the base of the shield, an arched field filled with alternating red and gold points.
