The flag is also used with the coat of arms without the white border and a shade of blue notably different from the flag field (photo, photo).

The symbols are described in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Vela Luka (text), adopted on 5 April 2006 by the Municipality Assembly. This is repeated in the current Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Vela Luka, adopted on 14 July 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 20 July 2009 in Službeni glasnik Općine Vela Luka, No. 5 (text).
As the white border of the shield is mentioned in the Decision only in the fouth sentence, after the main description, the Statutes omit that detail, thus never mentioning the border. The version of the coat of arms without the border is, therefore, an error, which may be justified by a literal reading of the Statutes.
