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. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for. |

Gules, a Tower embatteled issuant from a Massoned Wall Argent with a Door proper; In escutcheon Or, a Semi Buck rampant proper issuant from a Wheel Maroon issuant from a triple Mount Vert in base.
The coat of arms is the family arms of Erdödy family, who were hereditary counts of the County of Varazdin since 17th century, and whose coat of arms was granted as the county arms in 1763 by the Empress Maria Theresia.
The flag is the traditional flag of Varazdin City, five-striped red and white, with the county coat of arms added near the hoist. It is the modernized version of the historical flag that is today used as the ceremonial flag.

The historical flag of the Varaždin county was made in 1778. The flag consists of a silk field made of five red and white stripes. Near the hoist is appliqued hand-painted rectangular patch. On the obverse the patch pictures the coat of arms as granted in 1763. and on the reverse is pictured the patron of the county, Our Lady with Baby Jesus.
The flag is preserved in the Museum of the City of Varaždin. In 1996. a replica of that flag was made to be hoisted in the Mayor's office and used for ceremonial purposes.

The competition for the new county symbols was held in 1995. Two prises were given for the flag to Golubans' proposal, and for the coat of arms to Kruhoberec & Crnko proposal. The two teams were requested for further co-operation to combine their work, and upon the suggestions from the Ministry of Administration, the design that is virtually "polished up" historical coat of arms and the traditional flag were adopted.
