The official state symbol shall be the circular feature of the state flag, adopted by Chapter 498 of the Acts of 1905, and shall be of the following design: a circular field of blue surrounded by a circular stripe of white that is one-twentieth (1/20) the diameter of the circular field of blue. Inside the circular field of blue shall be three (3) five-pointed stars of white distributed at equal intervals around a point, the center of the blue field, and of such size and arrangement that one (1) point of each star shall approach as closely as practicable without actually touching one (1) point of each of the other two (2) around the center point of the blue field; and the two (2) outer points of each star shall approach as nearly as practicable without actually touching the periphery of the blue field. The arrangement of the three (3) stars shall be such that the centers of no two (2) stars shall align horizontally or vertically, but intermediate between same; and the highest star shall be the one located in the upper left of the blue field.
