Michigan State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #177278 (License: Personal Use)

The Michigan state flag features a royal blue background with the state’s coat of arms at center: an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, flanked by a moose and elk, standing over a shield depicting a lakeside landscape with a rising sun. Above the shield is a ribbon with “Tuebor” (I will defend), and below, the Latin motto “Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice” (If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you). The flag was officially adopted in 1911 and revised slightly in 1912 to its current form.
