Above are several versions of the seal of the City of Los Angeles, California. The seal includes the California Bear Flag as one of its design elements. According to the City Clerk's Office: "On March 27, 1905, Ordinance 10,834 authorized the city seal."
The Bear Flag on the seal does not have the words "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC," nor is there a grass plat as on the State Flag. The Bear Flag, here, is to represent the Bear Flag Republic, not the State, per se. Also the bear appears to be centered on the white field, unlike the most recognized Bear Flag, drawn by William Todd.
The City Seal (with Bear Flag) is centered on the Los Angeles City Flag, which was designed 1931 and raised in 1937, according to the City Clerk's Office.
