===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 15 September 1989. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Gules]], a [[sea serpent]] [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På raud grunn ein gull sjøorm}}). This means the arms have a red [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[sea serpent]]. The charge 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 design symbolizes the local legend of a sea serpent named [[Selma (sea serpent)|Selma]] who allegedly lives in the lake [[Seljordsvatn]]. The arms were designed by Trygve Magnus Barstad. 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=Seljord |access-date=2023-08-13 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Seljord, Telemark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-08-28.html |access-date=2023-08-13 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1989-10-15 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1989-09-15-958 |access-date=2023-08-13 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kommunevåpenet |url=http://www.seljord.kommune.no/sitecore/content/Seljord/Internett/Toppmeny/Fakta%20om%20kommunen/Kommunevapenet.aspx |access-date=2009-01-17 |publisher=Seljord kommune |language=no}}</ref>
