A stylized depiction of Triglav's distinctive shape is the central element of the [[Coat of arms of Slovenia|Slovene coat of arms]], designed by the sculptor [[Marko Pogačnik]], and is in turn featured on the [[flag of Slovenia]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.uradni-list.si/1/objava.jsp?urlid=199467&stevilka=2392 |title=Zakon o grbu, zastavi in himni Republike Slovenije ter o slovenski narodni zastavi |language=sl|trans-title=The Law on the Coat of Arms, the Flag and the Anthem of the Republic of Slovenia and on the Slovene National Flag |date=21 October 1994 |newspaper=Uradni list [Official Gazette]}}</ref> Alongside San Marino and Slovakia, Slovenia is the only other country in Europe and one of the few in the world to feature a mountain on its coat of arms.<ref name=Otorepec>{{cite book |url=http://retro.seals.ch/cntmng;jsessionid=4115318D48196A93F7AF15AE8C73CE1F |chapter=Triglav: ein Symbolberg |language=de, fr |trans-chapter=Triglav: a Symbol Mountain |first=Božo |last=Otorepec |year=1997 |issue=2 |title=Les Alpes de Slovénie = Die Alpen Sloweniens |pages=137–142 |id={{COBISS|ID=8328237}} |isbn=3-905312-38-7 }}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Formerly, it was featured on the coat of arms of the [[Socialist Republic of Slovenia]].

The first to depict Triglav as the symbol of the Slovenes was the architect [[Jože Plečnik]], who in 1934 put it besides other coats-of-arms of the nations of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] on the coat of the statue of the Mother of God in front of the parish church in [[Bled]].<ref name=Otorepec />

During World War II, the stylised Triglav was the symbol of the [[Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation]] resistance movement.<ref name=Otorepec /> The distinctive three-pronged caps worn by [[Slovene Partisans]] during [[World War II in the Slovene Lands|World War II]] were known as ''[[triglavka]]s''.

A relief map of the mountain is the design on the national side of the Slovene [[Slovenian euro coins|50 eurocent coin]].

The former Slovene president [[Milan Kučan]] once proclaimed that it is a duty of every Slovenian person to climb Triglav at least once in their lifetime.
