Overview

Veliko Trojstvo - on <free-bj.hinet.hr/opcina-veliko-trojstvo> is shown a complex quasiheraldical Coat of Arms (see: Previous Coat of Arms) that I am sure is not approved by the Ministry.
Željko Heimer, 9 June 2003

Looking at the official gazettes of the Bjelovar and Bilogora County (at <www.bbz.hr> ), I found out that Veliko Trojstvo adopted a Coat of Arms and the flag, approved by the Central state office for the Administration, as could be concluded from their budget report having the item paid to the office for the act approving the design. (Županijski glasnik BBŽ, 08/2005, p.24). The adopted design is most probably the same as shown on the community web site at <www.veliko-trojstvo.hr> showing the Holy Trinity, the design based on the vitraj (glaswork) in the Church of the Holy Trinity in the town (photo of the vitaj is also on the site). No hint as what the flag would be.

The mentioned photo of the vitraj, being source for heraldification of the Coat of Arms is at <www.veliko-trojstvo.hr>. The coat of arms of Veliko Trojstvo is canting the name meaning Trinity: azure on a base of clouds on the dexter sitting Chirst clead gules and holding a cross on sinister Father clead vert holding a sceptre and in the chief a dove displayed argent all haloed or. This is heraldrification of the vitraj in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Veliko Trojstvo.
The flag is green with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle. The table flag is vertical green flag ending triangularly, with the coat of arms in the middle, the name of the community above and branches of oak and vine below it. The symbols were designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o. from Rijeka.

The web site of the community now includes somewhat better images of the Coat of Arms, flag and ceremonial flag.
It may be noted that the ceremonial flag shown there is different from the table flag (not unusual) - however, the ceremonial flag that was produced seems to be different from that adopted one, see e.g. photo at <www.veliko-trojstvo.hr> where the ceremonial flag appear to be rectangular, however, the ornaments in the lower part are not visible (also not the table flag in the corner!).  
The 2009 statutes is available at <www.veliko-trojstvo.hr>: Statut Opcine Veliko Trojstvo, 12.08.2009, Županijski glasnik Bjelovarsko-bilogorske županije, br. 16/2009, 13.08.2009.
It describes the Coat of Arms in the article 7 very simply: "azure, St. Trinity". The flag is described as green with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the centre of it, ratio 1:2.
