Drawn according to the specifications in ORC §5.011, using a colorized reproduction of the standard 1996 Great Seal of Ohio. (Also known as the Ohio Governor's Flag and Ohio gubernatorial flag.) A physical flag made in the 1950s, before the seal and flag were fully standardized, colors the hills purple and omits the river.[1]
