===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 20 December 1985 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], three oak leaves in [[Pall (heraldry)|pall]] and three acorns in [[Pall (heraldry)|pall inverted]] stems conjoined [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt tre gull eikeblad i trepass med eikenøtter mellom}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is three conjoined [[oak]] leaves with three [[acorn]]s. 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 green color in the field and the oak leaf and acorn design symbolize the importance of the abundant oak forests in the municipality. There are three leaves/acorns to represent each of the three former municipalities of [[Greipstad]], [[Finsland (municipality)|Finsland]], and [[Øvrebø (municipality)|Øvrebø]] which were merged to form the municipality of Songdalen in 1964. The arms were designed by Nils Th. Finstad.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Songdalen |access-date=2023-01-21 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Songdalen, Vest-Agder (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-10-17.html |access-date=2023-01-21 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1985-12-20 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-12-13-2324?q=flagg |access-date=2023-01-21 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
