Overview

The design of the coat of arms is based on a proposal that entered the concourse held in November 1995, made by Tomislav Goluban. The design combines elements from the two most prominent families of Vrbovec (and important for Croatia as a whole) - Zrinski and Patachich de Zajezda. Both family arms include the black wings, and the tower is further modification of the tower found in Zrinski arms. The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle.
The souvenir table flag is vertical version, with somewhat larger coat of arms in name of the city inscribed above "GRAD VRBOVEC" in black. Adopted: around 1996 (?).
