Boston Globe: "State panel releases options
for new Massachusetts state flag, seal"

The Massachusetts Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission on Thursday released three designs for a new flag and three for a new seal it culled from more than 1,100 submissions as its “top selections.” It also released three proposals for a new state motto.

The flag and seal options feature various elements, including turkey feathers, an image of a whale or mayflower, and pictures of waves or water, among others. The top motto options include the phrases: “Many voices, One Commonwealth,” “We honor all life guided by the First Light,” and “We rejoice in the public good.”
