Since 2002 the Municipality of Vrnjačka Banja has used arms in three levels — basic, middle and greater — and a banner; the square red banner with a white cross was adopted on 15 July 2002. The author of the arms is Dragomir Acović of the Serbian Heraldry Society. The central figure is the Theotokos with Christ as the Life-giving Spring, rising from a gold vessel from which water flows, and the blue chief is cut on the model of the façade cornice of the Belimarković Mansion. In the greater arms the shield is supported by two angels in flight, behind it are the banners of Serbia and the municipality, and the compartment represents Mount Goč.
Blazon
On a gold field, issuing from the base of the shield, the Theotokos with Christ as the Life-giving Spring, in natural colours: the Theotokos in a blue robe and red cloak, with raised hands and a gold halo, and before her the infant Christ in a gold tunic, with a blue cloak thrown over his left shoulder and wrapped around his waist, and with a gold halo containing a cross with the Greek letters “О Ω Н”. Christ issues from a gold vessel from which five jets of water burst in natural colour. The chief is blue, separated from the field by a line in the form of the façade cornice of the Belimarković Mansion with three towers: the side ones have four merlons each with rounded tops, and the middle one, somewhat wider, five such merlons, of which the central one is wider and taller than the rest.
A golden mural crown of dressed stone, without merlons.
In the middle arms the shield is surrounded by a natural wreath of lime and beech, and beneath it is written the name of the place and municipality.
Two angels in flight, in natural colours, in white robes adorned with gold, with stoles and girdles of the same and with halos. Behind the shield are two red lances shod with gold, from which fly banners fringed with gold — on the dexter the banner of Serbia, on the sinister the banner of the municipality.
Mount Goč, overgrown with dense green vegetation.
A silver ribbon with the inscription “ВРЊАЧКА БАЊА”; the blazon prescribes gold letters, but in the drawing they are black.
A square red banner with a silver cross whose arms end in feet, with a semicircular widening at the middle of each foot.
