===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted by royal decree on 20 November 1987. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a [[Seeblatt|sea-leaf]] within a [[tressure]] [[invected]] on the outer edge and [[Engrailed (heraldry)|engrailed]] on the inner edge [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn eit sølv sjøblad omgjeve av sølv bord laga med taggesnitt}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a heart-shaped [[seeblatt]] design with a [[tressure]] border around the edge of the [[Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]]. 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 is based on a heraldic decoration found in the local [[Slidredomen]] church that dates back to the year 1170. The design was originally part of a seal that belonged to a [[Middle Ages|medieval]] nobleman from the area. The arms were designed by Kari Ruud Flem. 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=Vestre_Slidre |access-date=2023-04-22 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Vestre Slidre, Oppland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-05-43.html |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1987-11-20 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-11-20-1046 |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
