The coat of arms is adopted as a result of a competition held
in 1995. It pictures the court - mansion of Bedekovcina, and a
mug, symbol of long tradition of pottery in the area, which
before over a hundred years transformed into the bricks and
roof-tiles industry. Design: Danijel Drakulić from Zagreb.

In white shield four wavy bars, two upper red and two lower
blue. The red bars represent the roof tiles, i.e. the pottery
industry, while the two lower bars and number of waves represent
the sever Bedekovcina lakes, artificially made by digging the
earth for the tiles. The shield shape is the same as the shield
used on the coat of arms of the city Zabok, of which Bedekovcina
was part until 1993. The flag is golden representing richness of
the area bordered with Croatian tricolour - traditional ornament
of region. This proposal, in several variants based on the same
idea, was adopted by the Community council of the community of
Bedekovcina on 24 November 1995, as the second awarded on the
competition held for the coat of arms and the flag. The first
awarded proposal was latter on adopted for the coat of arms and
the flag, shown above. Design: E. & T. Goluban.
