In fact, the United States does not designate a national emblem design. But the image on the front of the coat of arms has actually become a motif that often appears on official documents or documents, such as the U.S. passport. The color version of the pattern that appears in this article does not represent the actual situation, and in most cases the pattern under the cover of the paper is monochrome.
