Image: Coat of arms of Massachusetts simplified

Description: Simplified Coat of arms of Massachusetts, for use on the state flag and on certain sign graphics and larger printing. Key differences between this and E.H. Garrett's seal, the latter of which is used mainly for officiating documents- The Native American figure lacks the facial details of the Ojibwe tribesman "Little Snake", who posed as the present design's model The arrowhead is uncharacteristically large, inauthentic, but meant to be more visible at a distance The typeface on the scrolls is simplified and more robust for visibility The sword in the crest comes to a point rather than the original's rounded blade Different hues are used for ease of manufacturing
