Michigan State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #65384 (License: Personal Use)

The Michigan state flag features a rich blue background with the state’s coat of arms at center-flanked by two white-tailed deer, topped by a bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, and bearing the Latin motto “Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice” (“If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you”). The shield depicts a lakeside scene with a rising sun, symbolizing hope and a new beginning. The flag was officially adopted in 1911 and revised slightly in 1912 to clarify details.
