Proposed coat of arms of Voćin - Images by Željko Heimer, 19 April 2005

Virovitičke vijesti, 13 November 2002, shows a photo of a large sign with a coat of arms picturing the local church and the coats of arms of Croatia and Slavonia in triangular corners.
The County website once showed the coat of arms as "Or a bar brunâtre".
Both designs seem to be initial projects or proposals that were occasionally used.
