The first flag was commissioned in 1907, but the original specifications did not meet the legal statute. The statutes were revised in 1927 to clarify that the full state seal was to be included on the flag, but some elements of the design were still not standardized. In 1957, an enhanced version of the state seal was approved, and questions about the seal settled. This first flag was designed by Colonel Charles H. Irvin. It was made of military blue silk with the Idaho State seal embroidered in the center using colored silk threads, a fringe of gold is found on three sides of the flag. After multiple specific specifications were made to the flag the legislature approved of the third version. Images on the seal of Idaho's state flag represent the main industries of the state: forestry, agriculture, and mining. The miner on the seal represents mineral wealth and mining. The fruit and vegetables and wheat sheaf represent agriculture. A lone pine tree represents the timber industry, and an elk represents wildlife from forestry.
