Overview

Vratišinec is a community in the Medimurje County, some 10 km north of Cakovec. 2,200 inhabitants, some 1,500 in the place of the same name.
For the time being no info on symbols in use. The web site of the community uses blue and red with a white flower emblem (daisy?), but this does not indicate anything yet. However, we have an official document revealing a bit more: Odluka o razrješenju i imenovanju clanova Komisije za idejno rješenje grba i zastave Opcine Vratišinec, 19.04.2004, Službeni glasnik Medimurske županije, br. 2/06, 20.03.2006. The decision appoints the members of a commission to adopt a coat of arms and flag design - meaning that the adoption of the new symbols is, hopefully, under way.

the community adopted symbols in June or July 2007, as could be see on "VRATIŠINEC: Grb i zastava konacno osmišljeni", 26.06.2007. Medimurje, županijske novine at <www.medjimurje.hr> and on a photo at <kud-vratisinec.hr>.
The coat of arms of Vratišinec is: azure a cross double pattee issuant from the base and in the chief a feather argent fesswise. On the abovementioned site it is sadi that the cross stands for religious values and the feather for music and education that Vratišinec is proud of.
The flag is light blue with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle.

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: Odluka o razrješenju i imenovanju clana Komisije za idejno rješenje grba i zastave Opcine Vratišinec, 15.03.2007, Službeni glasnik Medimurske županije, br. 3/07, 23.03.2007, changed a member of a commission established in 2004 to elect new design of the symbols.
The decision: Odluka o usvajanju rješenja za izradu grba i zastave Opcine Vratišinec, 11.06.2007, Službeni glasnik Medimurske županije, br. 6/07, 30.06.2007,   decides upon a design for the new symbols, in a single sentence of the decision. It does not reveal which design it is, but presumably, this was already the design latter adopted.
The decision: Statutarna odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Opcine Vratišinec, 05.10.2007, Službeni glasnik Medimurske županije, br. 11/07, 30.11.2007,   adopts the symbols, finally. The coat of arms of Vratišinec is: azure a a cross patriarchal maron issuant from the base and in the chief a feather argent fesswise.
The cross stands for religious values and the feather for music and education that Vratišinec is proud of.
