Sežana

1:2

The coat of arms of Sežana is gules a bent tree issuant from a pot sable. The basic design was adopted after a public concourse in late 1970's, the shape of the tree was actually a map of the community at the time. The tree is bent by a wind typical for the region (kraška bura). The design adopted in 2006 is only slight modernization of the original design adopted in 1985, including the fonts. The flag that was introduced in use in late 1990's, was amended accordingly.

Sežana, 1985 – 2006

The emblem of Sežana was adopted in 1985 in shape that was not meant to represent a shield. The colouring of this emblem was variating, among other silver on purple background and dark red on white.
