The City of Užice has insignia arranged to the standards of modern Serbian heraldry: arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner. On the blue shield are two silver eagles and a fortress on a rocky hill above water, and the banner repeats the blue and gold with three silver eagles and a gold chevron. The author of the arms is Dragomir Acović of the Serbian Heraldry Society. The middle arms are distinctive in that the shield with crown and sprigs is set in a black oval cartouche with a gold border and the inscription “УЖИЦЕ”. The city used the banner of the arms as early as the late 1990s, and after a period in which a white flag with the arms appeared it accepted it again as its flag; three variants are in use.
