On an ultramarine blue shield 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in width and 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) in height with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) golden yellow border, a star above a flaming torch emitting seven rays, all golden yellow.

Symbolism
The design elements are taken from the Indiana state flag. The torch signifies liberty and enlightenment; the rays around the torch represent their far reaching influence. The one large star above the torch represents Indiana.
