The State Flag of Maine
The flag of the state of Maine features the state coat of arms on a blue field. In the center of the shield, a moose rests under a tall pine tree. A farmer and seaman represent the traditional reliance on agriculture and the sea by the state. The North Star represents the state motto: "I Lead".
There are no official colors for the coat of arms, so variations in coloration can be seen in Maine flags from different manufacturers. The blue field, however, is specified to be the same blue as in the flag of the United States.
