Kingdom too?

Latest comment: 13 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

There is a picture of the Kingdom coat of arms, but no discussion of that. It might not deserve its own article, but at least it should be mentioned here so that people do not confuse the Kingdom and State seals. Also talk about how it evolved from one to the other. And was there a Kingdom flag, or was the current state flag used? W Nowicki (talk) 03:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Provisional Government, the Republic, the Territory, and the State of Hawaii used the same flag as the Kingdom of Hawaii. Shows a lot of creativity the haoles who overthrew the monarchy had. I bet a seperate arms existed for the Republic but I hidely doubt we'll eveer find it; I know from a source that I can't find anymore that the Republic of Hawaii did change some wordings in the national anthem of Hawaii Ponoi to make it more republican and less royal.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

This article should mention the origin of the coat of arms itself or create a seperate article for the arms itself and possibly another for the motto. I read in Under Hawaiian Skies by Albert Pierce Taylor, that the coat of arms was created by Hoapili during Kamehameha III's reign. It would make sense that Hoapili placed his father Kameʻeiamoku and his uncle Kamanawa on the coat of arms. But this site seems to claim that Haalilio was the mastermind behind this design.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:11, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Typefaces

What are the typefaces used on the Seal of the Republic of Hawaii? --REL

Inspired by the Seal of the State of New York

The resemblance between the Hawaiian Seal and that of New York are too obvious to need evidencing. The two people standing on each side of the central logo, and uncanny. Just check out the other on Wiki

"absolute monarchy"

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

in the symbolism section it says "The phoenix, symbol of death and resurrection, symbolizes the change from an absolute monarchy to a free, democratic form of government."

I am pretty sure this is incorrect as the Hawaiian kingdom was a constitutional monarchy 808Poiboy (talk) 18:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
