 | This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, city, and municipal government agencies) that derives its powers from the laws of theState of California and is subject to disclosure under theCalifornia Public Records Act (Government Code § 7920 et seq.). It is a public record that wasnot created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright, and is therefore in thepublic domain in the United States. Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act Pursuant to theCalifornia Public Records Act (Government Code § 7920 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics."(Cal. Gov't. Code § 7920.530.) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise."County of Santa Clara v. CFACCalifornia Government Code § 7923 et seq. lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition,computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant toEFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records. Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant toGovernment Code § 7920.545, states:“Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored. Agencies permitted to claim copyright California's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright andany works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:
County of Santa Clara v. CFAC held that the State of California, or any government entity which derives its power from the State, cannot enforce a copyright in any record subject to the Public Records Act in the absence of another state statute giving it the authority to do so. This applies even if there is a copyright notice, so long as the State of California or one of its agencies (other than those listed above) is indicated as the copyright holder. Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; theSupremacy Clause of theUnited States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may have to be released by such agency since they are public records, their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to these images unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See:Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?.

| 07:12, 21 October 2012 |  | 900 × 600(385 KB) | DevinCook | Changed the lettering again. The new lettering is designed to be both more readable and to look reminiscent of the defacto manufacturer appearance. Also, the letters were proportioned using 1/100 of the hoist as a base. | |
| 01:16, 10 September 2012 |  | 900 × 600(386 KB) | DevinCook | Cleaned up the lettering a bit. The leg shaded was updated to better reflect the official rendering. The grass plot was off just a bit. | |

| 18:34, 24 December 2008 |  | 900 × 600(611 KB) | DevinCook | Recreated the red star. The spoke ratio was off very slightly in the last version. | |
| 17:48, 24 December 2008 |  | 900 × 600(612 KB) | DevinCook | Reverted to version as of 08:15, 24 December 2008 |
