I stick my emblem at you!!

Designed back when Kikinda (currently in northern Serbia) was situated on the border with the Ottoman Empire, Kikinda's city emblem may be the scariest one out there. It must have originated as a proud symbol of resistance to the Ottoman oppression that had conquered Serbs for 600 years... But come on! Regardless of the charming heart below, a spear going through someone's head is definitely not a friendly way to welcome visitors to your city. It's 2010 and the media representation of Serbs does not ring friendly bells as is. The last thing we need is I "heart" Aggression emblems.
