===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 8 October 1982 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], an arrowhead [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn ein opprett sølv pilodd}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is an [[arrowhead]] ({{langx|no|pilodd}}) that is pointing upwards. The arrowhead has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms are somewhat [[canting arms]] since the name of the municipality means [[headland]] or point. However, the arrowhead was also chosen because it symbolises power and movement. This is seen as reflecting the strength of will of the community and also the production of hydroelectric power and the important industries based on it. The colors are interpreted as representing the white of the [[Folgefonna]] glacier and the snowcapped mountains surrounding Odda and the blue of the fjord cutting deep into the landscape to reach the municipality. The arms were designed by [[Hallvard Trætteberg]]. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Odda |access-date=2023-06-28 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Odda, Hordaland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-12-28.html |access-date=2023-06-28 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1982-12-04 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1982-10-08-1506 |access-date=2023-06-28 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
