Other villages in the municipality include Bjoa, Imslandsjøen, Ølensvåg, Skjold, Vats, Vikebygd, and Vikedal.

On 1 January 1969, the Sponevik farm (population: 6) was transferred from Vindafjord to the neighboring municipality of Tysvær.

Then on 1 January 1978, the Vormestrand area along the southern shore of the Vindafjorden (population: 13) was transferred to neighboring Suldal municipality.

The official blazon is "Gules, five chevrons argent two over two over one" (Norwegian: På raud grunn fem svevande kvite sparrar, 2-2-1).

The charge has a 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 meant to give the appearance of a collection of rorbuer or nauster (these are typical Norwegian boat houses that are often painted red and white).

There were five shapes used in order to represent the five predecessor municipalitites that were merged into Vindafjord in 1965: Sandeid, Vikedal, Imsland, Vats, and Skjold.

The official blazon is "Gyronny embowed argent and gules" (Norwegian: Åttedelt av kvitt og raudt ved virvelsnitt).

The design was chosen to symbolise the way that several major roads come together in the municipality, making it an important centre of trade.
