The Municipality of Požega uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner. According to a report of 2004, the insignia had then been recently adopted. The shield and banner share the same basic design — a field quartered into blue and red fields, with a white cross and a blue circle in the centre — and differ in the figure in the circle: on the arms it is an oriental steelyard, and on the banner a gold cross. A white flag with the arms in the centre also occurs. In practice the municipality, it seems, displays the greater arms on almost all occasions, although by the rules of Serbian local heraldry that level is intended only for ceremonial occasions.
Blazon
A quartered shield, blue in the first and fourth fields and red in the second and third, with a silver cross over all; in the centre a blue circle with a silver border, containing a gold steelyard.
A silver mural crown; in the middle arms the shield is surrounded by sprigs with plums and apples.
On the dexter a saint in imperial robes, with a crown, halo and cross, holding the tricolour of Serbia; on the sinister a female saint in imperial robes, with a crown and halo, holding the banner of the municipality.
