The Municipality of Velika Plana uses arms in three levels — basic, middle and greater — and a square banner; the arms were produced by Dragomir Acović of the Serbian Heraldry Society. The banner, which repeats the field of the shield without the buffalo horns, was adopted in 2002, and besides the square form a vertical and a horizontal version are also used. The principal motifs of the arms are a boar's head wounded by an arrow and the kolasta azdija — a double-headed eagle within a ring — between a pair of silver buffalo horns. The greater arms have as supporters Karađorđe's regulars with the banners of Serbia and the municipality.
Blazon
A shield divided horizontally: in the upper, blue field an erased black boar's head with gold tusks and a red tongue, wounded by a gold arrow through the forehead; in the lower, red field a silver kolasta azdija, a double-headed eagle within a ring. Over all, along the flanks of the shield, a pair of silver buffalo horns with their points turned upwards.
A silver mural crown with three visible merlons.
In the middle arms the shield is surrounded by natural elm branches, and beneath the shield the name “ВЕЛИКА ПЛАНА” is written.
Two of Karađorđe's regulars in natural colours, in the dress of their time, modelled on the supporters of the arms of the Royal House of Serbia from 1903–1917, with red fezzes and weapons at the belt. Each holds in his free hand a natural lance shod with gold, from which flies a banner fringed with gold: the (heraldic) dexter the banner of Serbia, and the sinister the banner of the municipality.
A glade overgrown with dense green vegetation.
The square banner repeats the field of the shield without the buffalo horns: the upper half is blue with the black boar's head pierced by a gold arrow, the lower red with the silver kolasta azdija.
