US State
The flag of the U.S. state of Michigan is a coat of arms set on a dark blue field, as set forth by Michigan state law. As of 2025 Michigan has had three state flags, and the current flag was adopted on August 1, 1911. The governor has a variant of the flag with a white field instead of blue one. The state has an official flag month from June 14 through July 14.
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 with a raised hand in peace and his other hand holding a long gun, representing a readiness to defend the state and nation. The elk and moose are symbols of Michigan, while the bald eagle represents the United States.
Michigan is one of the 50 states of the United States of America. Each US state has its own official seal, flag, motto, and a range of state symbols including a state bird, flower, and tree.
