The coat of arms of Draganić, not described in the Municipality Statutes, is "Azure a base of a seat or between a six-pointed rosette argent and a crescent increscent of the same".
According to the designer of the coat of arms, Stjepan Bahorić (U potrazi za dokazima opstojnosti, unsourced, undated), such a coat of arms already appeared in the seal of a noble community of Draganić dated 1519, and can be afterwards traced in a number of documents throughout of the history. The seat is a symbol of a site of decision making of a community of free citizens. The triangular shape stands for the divine providence.

The variant of the coat of arms used before ca. 1995 is based on the versions used in 19th century and, especially, from Lašovski's collection of 1932 (Coffee Hag Album).
