The Korsun'-Shevchenkivs'ka Community (Корсунь-Шевченківська міська громада) was created in 2020. It contains 11 populated places. It has about 176 km² and about 21'000 inhabitants. Its administrative seat is the Town of Korsun'-Shevchenkivs'kyy.
The Community hasn't adopted its own symbols, but is using the symbols of the Town of Korsun'-Shevchenkivs'kyy (In such cases usually the symbols of the administrative seat are in use, until the distinct symbols are adopted).

Town of Korsun'-Shevchenkivskyy

The flag was adopted by the Town Council on 29.4.1992. A rectangular panel with an aspect ratio of 2:3 consists of two equally sized horizontal stripes of blue and yellow colors. Near the free edge is a white vertical stripe 1/8 the length of the flag. In the center of the canvas is the coat of arms of the city.
However, photos show that the flags in use have no white stripe, have arms type c with red a castle, and have additional text above and below the shield, "KORSUN' / SHEVCHENKIVS'KYY" in Ukrainian language in Cyrillic script.

Coat of Arms

Since 1992 (3 Variants)

Variant a

The current coat of arms was adopted
by the Town Council on 29.4.1992.
"The shield is crossed by a doubly
concave blue stripe, in the upper red
field is a golden bow with an arrow
pointing upwards, in the lower green
field is a silver castle with two towers
and open gates. The new coat of arms
is based on two ancient coats of arms
of Korsun, granted by the privileges
of 1585 and 1792. The blue stripe
signifies the Ros River, above which
the city is located."

Variant b

On the upper red part of the shield
crossed by a biconcave azure belt,
there is a golden bow with a golden
arrow superimposed on the string;
on the lower green part is a red tower.
The azure belt is the Ros river flowing
through the city. The tower is a repre-
sentation of one of the oldest buildings
in Korsun – the entrance gate of the
Lopukhin-Demidov estate.

Variant c

The coat of arms is approved in the
form of only a shield, but is often
used with the frame recommended
for Ukrainian municipal coats of
arms – a crown and a cartouche.

1792–1992

The coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth period was approved on 17.2.1792. In a shield azure, a gold city gate with black raised bars in an open opening, with three gold towers, with black windows and red roofs, the middle of which is higher and surmounted by a silver stork with red beak and legs.

1585–1792
