Overview

On the web site of the several local official gazettes at <www.glasila.hr> is also the official gazette of the Varaždin County that includes the Decision on the description and on the use of the coat of arms and the flag of the Community of Visoko: Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Opc'ine Visoko, 18. svibnja 2004, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br. 15A/04, 22. svibnja 2004. Unfortunately, the gazette does not include images, but only descriptions.
The coat of arms of Visoko is or a blackbird holding in the beak two plumbs all proper standing on a mount vert. The plumbs refer to the local petty nobility granted to the local inhabitants since 12th century, nicknamed plumb-growers (ljivari).
The flag is blue with the coat of arms in the middle. Probably there is also a ceremonial flag, but it is not mentioned.

Recently opened web site of the community show the Coat of Arms at <www.visoko.hr>. There is a much larger community (city) named Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina with some 40,000 inhabitants in the Zenica-Doboj Canton , not to be confuzed with this one.

The 2006 Statutes adopted by the community include the description of the Coat of Arms and the flag, matching the previous decision of 2004. However, the flag is in the Statutes described to have the ration of 1:3. This is, I believe, nothing more then a typo where should stand 1:2, but nevertheless - I may be wrong - and we should note this.

The new 2009 Statutes repeats the description from the 2006 Statutes, including the unusual ratio prescribed for the flag of 1:3 (is this a typo slipping through?): Statut Opcine Visoko, 17.07.2009, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br. 25/09, 31.07.2009.
