State Seal[edit]

Here's an excerpt from the Ohio Revised Code, § 5.10:

"The design of the great seal shall not be reproduced, except as required by any provision of the Ohio Constitution and the Revised Code, unless permission to do so is first obtained from the governor. The governor may authorize reproduction of the design of the great seal when the purpose is to:

(A) Permit publication of a reproduction of the great seal of the state of Ohio;

(B) Aid educational or historical programs;

(C) Promote the economic or cultural development of the state in a manner deemed appropriate by the governor.

A permanent record shall be kept in the governor's office of each permit to reproduce the design of the great seal.

No person shall use or permit to be used any reproduction or facsimile of the great seal or a counterfeit or nonofficial version of the great seal for any purpose not authorized by the governor."

Therefore, Wikipedia cannot have state seals in userboxes (well, at least Ohio). — Ian Manka ^{Questions? Talk to me!} 05:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Color scheme[edit]

I can't read the blue "Ohio" on the red background. I know the buckeyes are scarlet and grey, but it's unreadable as is. I've tried pink and crimson — both look terrible. Apologies to IanManka in advance, but I'm changing the background to white with red text. MARussellPESE 18:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
