==Notable depictions== {{Main|Notable depictions of the Great Seal of the United States}} [[File:US one dollar bill, reverse, series 2009.jpg|thumb|The Great Seal on the reverse of the [[United States one-dollar bill]]]] The Great Seal very quickly became a popular symbol of the country. It inspired both the [[flag of North Dakota]] and [[Flag of the United States Virgin Islands|that of the US Virgin Islands]] (adopted in 1911 and 1921, respectively). Combined with the heraldic tradition of artistic freedom so long as the particulars of the blazon are followed, a wide variety of official and unofficial emblazonments appeared, especially in the first hundred years. This is evident even in the different versions of the seal die. The quality of the 1885 design, coupled with a spirit of bureaucratic standardization that characterized that era, has driven most of these out of official use.<ref name="ahart"/><ref name="carpet">{{cite book |title = The Most Splendid Carpet |last = Anderson |first = Susan H. |publisher = [[National Park Service]] |url = http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/inde/anderson/index.htm |chapter = Elements of Design in the Senate's Carpet |chapter-url = http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/inde/anderson/chap5a.htm |oclc = 06279577 |access-date = February 4, 2009 |archive-date = January 15, 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090115202529/http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/inde/anderson/index.htm |url-status = live }}</ref> The Great Seal symbol (or a close variant) has been used by former presidents after leaving office. In February 2021, the Seal continued to feature in the logo of the Office of [[Barack Obama|Barack]] and [[Michelle Obama]], and the logo of the Office of [[George W. Bush]].
