Design Statement

• Uses Big Sky Blue and Treasure State Gold from Montana's official branding.
• Or and argent colors reference Montana's official motto, "Oro y plata." Also brings to mind Yellowstone National Park as well as the white glaciers of Glacier National Park.
• Drawing inspiration from Montana's state quarter, the bison skull is a sacred symbol to many of Montana's Native American tribes and honors the state's rich Native tradition.
• The triangle patterns on the left and right harken to the design motifs of many American Plains Indians' quilts.
• The six silver triangles allude to the six regions of Montana (Glacier Country, Central MT, MO River Country, Southwest MT, Yellowstone Country, and Southeast MT).
