^The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages.

Since 1993 the Croatian legislation allows the units of local self-government (counties, cities and communities) to have their coat of arms and flag, however these may be legally used only after they are approved by a central state authority. The a flag of a county should be of a two colours field with the coat of arms in the centre or offset towards hoist. The coat of arms must follow also a set of rules to be approved. Some cities and communities use unapproved designs nevertheless. See more on the approval dates. Prior to 1993 the coats of arms and flag were not regulated by state legislation.
The official bazon (heraldic descripton) of the coats of arms and descriptions of the flags are according to the approval text of the central state authority, other description according to other county documents.

Legal notice: The counties, cities and communities in the Republic of Croatia by their decision on adoption and use of the coats of arms and flags limit the use of these symbols only after obtaining an explicit written permission. However, most of the units of local government and self-government by the same decisions explicitly allow the free use of the symbols in the educational and scientific purposes and in the artistic creation, under condition that such use does not offend the dignity and honour of the local unit. The author of these pages considers that the depiction of the coats of arms and the flags here meets the conditions of free use in that sense.

The coat of arms is Azure a Crown of Zvonimir Or. The crown of Zvonimir is based on the representation of the crown on the head of Croatian king found on the old Croatian engraving on a baptistery in early Romanic style of 11th century. The baptistery is located in the St. Dujam Cathedral in Split, and it is believed that the figure represent the king Zvonimir Dmitar (? - 1089, ruled from 1075), who liberated Dalmatia from Venetians, and organized capital and seat of Croatian parliament in Knin. The flag is blue with golden field one third of the flag length next to the hoist in the centre of which is the coat of arms, 80/150 of the flag width wide and 96/150 high.
