The City of Valjevo uses round insignia in a small and a large version and a vertical flag. Both symbols were designed by Đorđe Stanojević, and the city adopted them on 8 October 2010, a year after the previous competition failed to produce an accepted design. The motif of the insignia is stylised after the relief device on the Nenadović Tower in Valjevo. The flag is intended solely for vertical display, as a gonfalon with a swallow-tail cut, which is a rare exception in Serbian territorial vexillology.

Proposals and unadopted designs

Unadopted proposal for the middle arms

The work of Slobodan Stanić, which won the competition but was not adopted by the city. The proposal takes the form of a shield divided into red and blue, with a white tower above wavy lines, surmounted by a gold mural crown and with a gold ribbon reading “ВАЉЕВО”.
