The Oregon state flag, adopted in 1925, is unique as the only U.S. state flag with different designs on each side. The front features a blue field with the state seal in gold. The seal depicts a heart-shaped shield with a covered wagon, the Pacific Ocean, and mountains, symbolizing Oregon's pioneer spirit and natural beauty. Above the shield, a bald eagle represents the United States, and the state motto, "The Union," reflects Oregon's commitment to the Union.

On the reverse side of the flag, a beaver is depicted, symbolizing the state's rich fur trade history and its nickname, "The Beaver State."
