===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 11 August 1939. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a [[Pale (heraldry)|pale]] wavy and four lightning bolts [[saltire|in saltire]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå bunn en loddrett sølvelv som sender lynstråler av sølv til begge sider}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a wavy vertical bar and four [[lightning]] bolts emanating from the centre and making an X-shape. 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 design symbolizes that Notodden was created by the exploitation of [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric power]] on the river [[Tinnelva]] when [[Norsk Hydro]] started its operations with saltpeter production and power development in 1905. The vertical bar represents the Tinnfoss [[waterfall]] along the river and the lightning bolts represent electricity. The arms were designed by Jens Høibø. 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=Notodden |access-date=2023-08-27 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Notodden kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/he10071208070196.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dnotodden |access-date=2023-08-27 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
