It seems that just recently Šenkovec adopted a coat of
arms and a flag - see <senkovec.hr> - a lot of photos
with coat of arms and the flag in various settings, but no info
on adoption date or process - except an interview with a mayor
announcing that in 2007 the community shall have to deal with the
question of adopting the coat of arms.
The coat of arms is argent a lion rampant
gules golding with his front paws a wing sable. The black wing is
probably reference to the Zrinski family who owned the region in
late medieval period.
The flag is red with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the
middle.
The drawings were prepared from adapted images of the coat of
arms at the abovementioned web site.

I have taken a look at the newly issued official gazettes in
the Medimurje county <www.glasila.hr> and
I report here some news:
The decision: Statutarna odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine
Šenkovec, 17.08.2007, Službeni glasnik Medimurske
županije, br. 12/06, 05.12.2007, established the symbols of
the community as we have them.
The decision was adopted on 17 August, however it was not
published until the end of the year, waiting for the approval
from the central authorities. The approval was issued with a
decision of the Central State Office for Administration under
number Kl. UP/I-OI7-01/07-01/91, Ur.br. 515-10/06-07-3 (but the
date is not given), and the symbols are valid on the eight day
upon the issue (i.e. on 13.12.2007)

An article
from the time of the adoption of the coat of arms and the flag
confirms that the design is by Heraldic Art of Rijeka:
"Vlast i oporba skinule rukavice", Medimurske novine,
23.08.2007.
