The symbols of Gračišće were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company, from Rijeka.

Coat of arms of Gračišće - Image by Željko Heimer, 8 June 2013
The coat of arms is "Argent on a base vert a church with a belfry gules".
It must be based on some historical design, otherwise the central state authorities would probably not have approved such a design with yet another church.
