I received an email from the Executive Director of the Tennessee Department of General Services asking me to correct this article because the Seal of Tennessee was incorrect. The main objection was to the colorization if the seal. It is not supposed to bew colorized. I asked for references, and they sent two. A Branding Guidelines document by the state says: |

"''There is only one correct version of the state seal, which is outlined by the Tennessee Legislature. The seal should be printed either in black ink or in Pantone 871 Gold. It may also be represented in a white reverse if printed on a dark background. No other colorations are acceptable''." The article prominently features a colorized seal labelled as The Great Seal of Tennessee, which they asked me to remedy. |
