The Municipality of Senta has three symbols — arms, a flag and an armorial seal — prescribed by Article 5 of the municipal statute of 2006. The arms are used as lesser and middle arms, and the round armorial seal contains the middle arms in a circle with the Latin inscription “SIGILLUM CIVITATIS ZYNTHA” and the years 1506 and 1902. The principal motif of the arms — two crossed keys, an ear of grain and two sterlets — also appears on the earlier flag of the town. The present flag is a bicolour of light blue and yellow with the arms in the centre.
Blazon
On a light blue field two gold keys crossed in saltire, with the bows downwards and the bits upwards and outwards, over a gold ear of grain with two green leaves; through the bow of each key a silver sterlet is threaded horizontally, so that the fish face away from each other.
Above the shield a silver tournament helm with a lowered barred visor, facing front and crowned with a gold crown.
Mantling blue and gold on the dexter and red and silver on the sinister.
A bicolour of light blue and yellow in the proportion 1:2, with the municipality's arms in the centre, at the intersection of the diagonals. The Statute permits a horizontal division, with the light blue field above and the yellow below, and a vertical division into a yellow and a light blue field, always of equal widths.
