The coat of arms of Krašić is "Azure from a hill vert a tree issuant and on it sitting a dove argent".
This coat of arms appears on the seals of the Noble Community of Krašići since 1676, and was also painted in the Zagreb Town Hall around 1880. The modern design is largely based on the rendition by Lašovski [lsv39].

The coat of arms was designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company, from Rijeka.
The coat of arms is also used with a white inscription of year "1249." in white Gothic characters beneath the tree on the green mound. It is the year of the first mention of the town in written record.
