Coat of arms of Cernik - Image by Željko Heimer, 3 November 2007
The coat of arms is "Azure two acorns and in chief two keys in saltire with the wards down outwards all or".
The keys refer to St. Peter, the patron saint of the parish. The arms are canting since the name of the place is derived from the archaic word cer meaning "oak".

Flag, coat of arms and ceremonial flag of Cernik, 2002 - Images by Željko Heimer, 8 May 2004
The first symbols were adopted on 17 October 2002 by the Municipality Assembly.
The only difference with the current symbols is the coat of arms, "Azure an acorn and in chief two keys in saltire with the wards down outwards all or", that is with a single acorn instead of two.
