state seal Logos and Brands
The official seals of states, territories, and government agencies, which serve as legal certifications for documents, are included in the “State Seal” section. The Great Seal of the United States, with a bald eagle, and the seals of all 50 states and territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands) contain heraldic elements, mottos, and dates of establishment. The seal of California with a grizzly bear and the goddess Minerva, the seal of Texas with a lone star, and the seal of New York with two female figures (Liberty and Justice) are among the most recognizable. The logos in this section capture the heraldry of American statehood, where each element of the seal has historical and symbolic significance.
