The Vermont state flag has a blue background with the state coat of arms in the center. Vermont's dairy and agricultural industries are represented by the red cow and three sheaves of grain while the deer head above the shield represents its wildlife. Mountains and lakes are shown in the background. On a red banner at the bottom is the state motto "Freedom and Unity". According to the Vermont Historical Society, "the pictures in the seal show things that were important to the settlers" and "some people say the pine tree represents freedom from the king of England."
