The state coat of arms depicts a light blue shield, upon which the sun rises over a lake andpeninsula, and a man with raised hand and holding a long gun representing peace and the ability to defend his rights. The elk and moose depict great animals of Michigan, while the bald eaglerepresents the United States.

The design features three Latin mottos. From top-to-bottom they are:

On red ribbon: E Pluribus Unum, "Out of many, one", a motto of the United States

On light blue shield: Tuebor, "I will defend"

On white ribbon: Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you" (the official state motto)
