Summary
DescriptionSeal of Howard County, Maryland.png |
English: The seal of Howard County, Maryland. The Howard County Seal was designed and approved on behalf of the Howard District of Anne Arundel County in 1840, but the County was not officially established until Howard District was separated from Anne Arundel County in 1851. The seal was designed by Edward Stabler, one of the foremost seal designers of the time (He also designed seals for Anne Arundel County).
The Howard County Code of 1977 stipulates that the seal of the county shall be a copy of the seal designed by Edward Stabler in 1840. The seal depicts "a shock of wheat, centrally dominant, with a hand plow to the left, and a spike harrow to the right. All three (3) are centered on a plowed field with tobacco plants growing in the foreground. Trees and rolling hills form the background, and a cloudless sky forms the upper third of the design." The County Code describes the colors that are to be used when the seal is rendered in color. The sky--Prussian blue-med.; the wheat--yellow ochre; the hills--graduated shades of teraverte; the tobacco plant in the foreground--Chrome green-med.; the trees--a dark shade of chrome green; the soil--burnt umber-med;.; the spike harrow and the plow blade--Ivory black diluted to gray; and the plow handles--Burnt sienna-med. |
