U.S. states, districts, and territories have representative symbols that are recognized by their state legislatures, territorial legislatures, or tradition.Some, such as flags, seals, and birds have been created or chosen by all U.S. polities, while others, such as state crustaceans, state mushrooms, and state toys have been chosen by only a few.
Governors of some states, such as Washington and Oregon, simply use the state seal in their role as chief executive. Instead of a seal, the state of Hawaii uses a logo for the office of governor and lieutenant governor. This logo follows the design used by the White House logo.
