===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 2 June 1989. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Or (heraldry)|Or]], sevense crosses [[gules]] in annulo"'' ({{langx|no|I gull sju røde kors som danner en sirkel}}). This means the arms have a [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a circular arrangement of seven [[greek cross]]es. The design was inspired by a 1344 seal used by local peasants on a document regarding the coronation of [[Haakon VI of Norway|King Håkon Magnusson]]. The seal depicts a building topped with a cross similar to those on the coat of arms and at the local [[Ranem Church]]. The arms were designed by Harald Ekseth. 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=Overhalla |access-date=2023-02-17 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Overhalla, Nord-Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-17-44.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1989-08-18 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1989-06-02-448 |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
