The original [[coat of arms]] was granted on 14 December 1984 and was used until 31 December 2019. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a ship's stern issuant [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn ein oppveksande gull skipsstamn}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is the front of a [[Viking ship]]. 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 ship symbolized the nearby naval [[Battle of Fimreite]] between King [[Sverre of Norway]] and the local King [[Magnus V of Norway|Magnus Erlingsson]] in the year 1184. The latter was killed in battle together with many nobles of the time. The arms were designed by the artist Inge Rotevatn from Nordfjordeid. The municipal flag had 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=Sogndal |access-date=2023-05-13 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sogndal, Sogn og Fjordane (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-14-20.html |access-date=2023-05-13 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1984-12-14 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1984-12-14-2086 |access-date=2023-05-13 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

A new [[coat of arms]] was granted in 2019 for use starting on 1 January 2020 when the municipality was enlarged. The [[blazon]] is ''"Azure, an S-shape argent narrowing to chief"''. This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is an S-shaped curve that narrows towards the top of the design. 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 arms symbolize a [[fjord]] curving between the mountains. The curving shape is also similar to an "S" which is the first letter of the name of the municipality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nytt kommunevåpen for nye Sogndal kommune |url=http://www.nye.sogndal.kommune.no/nytt-kommunevaapen-for-nye-sogndal-kommune.6198263-419866.html |access-date=2019-12-08 |publisher=Nye Sogndal kommune |language=no}}</ref>
