===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 12 April 1983. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], a wormwood plant [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt en sølv malurt}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a Norwegian wormwood (''[[Artemisia (genus)|Artemisia]] norvegica'') plant. The plant 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 was chosen in a competition for the municipal arms. This design was chosen since this plant species is only found in a few places in the world. It has its main [[Europe]]an distribution in Sunndal Municipality and neighboring [[Oppdal Municipality]] in the [[Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park]] and in [[Trollheimen]] landscape protection area. Small populations are also found in [[Ryfylke]], [[Scotland]], and the [[Ural Mountains]], with another subspecies in the mountains of [[Northern America]]. This plant can be found in abundance in many places in the mountains of Sunndal well above [[tree line]]. The arms were designed by Svein Thuen Rasmussen. 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=Sunndal |access-date=2023-04-13 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sunndal, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-63.html |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1984-01-20 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1983-11-25-1733 |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kommunevåpen Sunndal |url=http://www.sunndal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?AId=831&back=1&MId1=21&MId2=459 |access-date=2008-10-19 |publisher=Sunndal Kommune |language=no}}</ref>
