The Oklahoma logo is the most important aesthetic element of our visual identity, and it functions as a powerful identifier of the state. The design of our logo is based on shapes and colors embedded in our history. The form is inspired by our native heritage . It reflects the earth, sky, water, agriculture and forest. The colors speak to the seasons. The white star ( brown due to the wood overlay on this sign) is a powerful symbol of America that is a part of our state seal and on the original flag of the state. Chevrons acknowledge our military. These elements form a circle and direct their energy inward, dramatizing Oklahoma as a hub at the center of America. This symbol invited everyone to join us here in an embracing community, to take in countless unexpected experiences and explore genuine opportunity.
