The symbols of Donja Voća were consecrated on 11 November 2010, during the celebration of the Day of St. Martin, the patron saint of the municipality (photo gallery).
The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company from Rijeka.

Coat of arms of Donja Voća - Image by Željko Heimer, 29 December 2010
The coat of arms of Donja Voća is "Azure on a base vert a garb or ribboned gules in front of a rake in bend, a scythe in bend sinister above a spade between a plough and a harrow all argent".
This is based on the municipality seal of 1864, whose colored version is found in Laszowski's Grbovi Jugoslavije [lsv39], blazoned there simply as "Azure a garb between agricultural tools".

Ceremonial flag of Donja Voća - Image by Željko Heimer, 29 December 2010
The ceremonial flag (photo, photo) is a red gonfalon with three triangularly ending tails with a yellow fringe and tassels, in the centre of it the coat of arms topped with the name of the municipality in two arches and a grapevine ornament below it.
The coat of arms in the ceremonial flag includes two noticeably miscoloured elements: the handle of the scythe if yellow, as well as the topmost ribbon binding the garb.
