===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was adopted during the late 1940s, but they have never been formally granted since they did not meet the formal government design requirements. In 2018, the municipal council of Fitjar formally approved the arms after a change to a national law. The [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a Viking helmet [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] within a [[Orle (heraldry)|orle]] [[argent]]"''. This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[Viking]] [[helmet]] with a thin border around the edge of the shield. 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 arms often have a [[mural crown]] depicted above the [[Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]]. The helmet and the color are derived from the belief that [[Haakon I of Norway|King Haakon the Good]] wore a golden helmet at the [[Battle of Fitjar]] in 961, which was fought in this municipality. King Haakon died from his wounds. His death and reception in [[Valhalla]] are described in the [[skaldic poem]] {{lang|non|Hákonarmál}}, composed by the [[Eyvindr skáldaspillir]]. The arms were designed by Magnus Hardeland. The municipal flag is orange with a depiction of coat of arms in the centre along with the name of the municipality below the arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Fitjar |access-date=2023-05-24 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Fitjar kommune |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/Fitjar%20fra%20SNL.JPG.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dfitjar |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Fitjar kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/V%C3%A5pen%20Fitjar_839.pdf.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dfitjar |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
