Seal of the United States Virgin Islands

The seal of the United States Virgin Islands is an official symbol of the United States Virgin Islands.

The present seal was adopted on January 1, 1991 and replaced an earlier seal similar to the flag of the United States Virgin Islands, which was based on the central design of the Great Seal of the United States.

It reads "Government of the United States Virgin Islands".

There is also, centered in the seal, a bananaquit, the island's national bird and a ribbon bearing the motto United in Pride and Hope.

It was designed by St. Thomas artist Mitchlyn E. Davis, Sr. [1]
