As the seal is an official symbol, there are State Seal Law and State Seal Rules regarding appropriate usage of it. The current layout of the state seal of Myanmar was partially inspired by that of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom, and since Myanmar's independence from Great Britain, has changed three times.
