===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 11 January 1985. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], three arrowheads [[argent]] points to [[Chief (heraldry)|chief]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn tre opprette sølv piloddar, to over ein}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is three [[arrowhead]] symbols that are pointing upwards. The charge 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 arrowheads were chosen as a symbol for the [[Battle of Hjörungavágr]] in 986, in which [[Haakon Sigurdsson|Earl Håkon]] defeated the [[Denmark|Danish]] [[Viking]]s. This battle played an important role in the struggle by Håkon to unite the whole of Norway. Since the battle took place in the municipality, the arrowheads were considered an appropriate symbol. The arms were designed by Jarle Skuseth. 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=Hareid |access-date=2023-04-15 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Hareid, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-17.html |access-date=2023-04-15 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1985-01-11 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-01-11-40 |access-date=2023-04-15 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
