Vidovec is a community about 15 km SW of Varaždin, in Varaždin County.
It would have about 5,400 (1993) inhabitants, the main village of
the same name about 1000 itself. The coat of arms is shown on the
County web site <www.varazdinska-zupanija.hr>:
Or a cabbage eradicated vert. Unfortunately, no info on flag, the
statutes do not describe it.
This is one among a few modern Croatian designs that may proudly
compete with such municipal heraldic powers as Norway and
Switzerland. Certainly it is a humorous and easy to remember
design.

Vidovec adopted new statutes including the description of the
coat of arms and the flag where in the 2001 statutes was only
mention of them as possibility Statut Opcine Vidovec, 1.06.2006,
Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br.
14/2006, 08.06.2006.
The coat of arms is described to be the historical coat of arms
of Vidovec: or a cabbage plant eradicated vert. The flag is
described as being blue with overall ratio 1:2. (Notably, the
flag is described just so, i.e. no coat of arms is mentioned
being part of it, but I do not think that the meaning of the
legislator was to have pure undefaced blue flag).
Željko Heimer, 30 July 2006
Unlike the 2006 Statutes that include the descriptions of the
coat of arms and the flag, the new 2009 Statutes do not have them
and refer to a separate decision that shall determine the details:
Statut Opcine Vidovec, 30.06.2009, Službeni vjesnik
Varaždinske županije, br. 14/2009, 30.06.2009.
However, soon a new decision on the coat of arms and the flag was
adopted, although retaining the previous symbols. It invalidates
a previous decision issued in the official gazette nr. 8/1998,
which is when these symbols were adopted in the first place:
Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Opcine Vidovec,
10.09.2009, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije,
br. 31/2009, 11.09.2009.
