Description
The Great Seal of the State of Michigan depicts the coat of arms of the U.S. state of Michigan on a light blue field. On the dark blue shield the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, a man holding a long gun with a raised hand represents peace and the ability to defend his rights. The elk and moose are symbols of Michigan, while the bald eagle represents the United States.
The design features three Latin mottos. From top to bottom they are:
On the red ribbon: E Pluribus Unum, "Out of many, one," a motto of the United States. On the light blue shield: Tuebor, "I will defend" On the white ribbon: Si Qu�ris Peninsulam Am�nam Circumspice, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you," which is the official state motto. It was adopted in 1835 and said to have been suggested by the tribute to architect Christopher Wren at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London, which reads Si monumentum requiris, circumspice (Latin "If you seek [his] monument, look around you").
The seal was adopted on June 22, 1835.
