The seal of Boston is the official insignia representing the city of Boston. It was adopted in 1914.
History and meaning
editThe city seal was designed in 1822 by John Penniman. It was then adopted in 1823 and modified by changing the font, adding clouds and re-formatting the motto in 1827. [1] However, it was not adopted officially until 1914. It shows the city of Boston upon a hill that cannot be hidden overlooking the bay.
Encircling it is the motto which is : Sicut Patribus Sit Deus Nobis which is latin for : "God be with us as he was with our fathers" and is found in 1 Kings, VIII, 57. At the bottom, is written Civitatis Regimine Donata A.D. 1822 which means "City-Status Granted by the Authority of the State in 1822."[2]
Use
editThe seal is seen on the city flag as well as the Seal of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Boston. And should be used when the city needs to be the symbol of authority or on non-digital bills.[3] A digital version of the seal has been created with it being simpler by making the buildings squarer and removing the leaves. This digital version is used to represents the city of Boston numerically such as on their website.
