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 "an oak".

The first symbols of Cernik were adopted on 17 October 2002 by the Municipality Assembly.
