The coat of arms of Vransko is prescribed by the Municipal Statutes Statutarni sklep Občine Vransko, adopted on 29 December 1998 and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, No. 2.
The description of the coat of arms was dropped from the subsequent Statutes Statut Občine Vransko, adopted on 25 February 1999 and published on 10 April 1999 in Uradni list Republike Slovenije, No. 24 (text); the Statutes now say that the municipality has a coat of arms, a flag and a holiday, to be further prescribed by a Decision. Such a Decision was not adopted yet; the coat of arms is, nevertheless, still used in the same form. This is repeated the latest Statutes Statut Občine Vransko, adopted on 23 February 2010 and published on 5 March 2010 in Uradni list Republike Slovenije, No. 17 (text).

According to the municipal website, the coat of arms of Vransko has been used since 1868 and is canting, since the name of the town developed from the name of the crow bird (in Slovene, vrana), as "Argent a crow stantant on top of a couped juniper tree issuant from base all proper".
The coat of arms is set within an arabesque border. The legend says that the region was once a lake that was dried up, and that on the dried area crows gathered.

Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] record an other flag that is used only as table flag for promotional activities: a green flag that gradually changes it background colour from light green in the top to dark green in the base, with an orle of gray and the coat of arms of Vransko near the bottom above yellow inscription "VRANSKO" with black shadow-drop. This flag is not official either.
