A print of the official motto of the United States, In God We Trust, in multiple sizes and colors
———
Most likely you have this phrase on you — in your purse or wallet — right now. ɪɴ ɢᴏᴅ ᴡᴇ ᴛʀᴜꜱᴛ has appeared on all U.S. currency since 1955, and it has been the country’s official motto since 1956. An early form of the motto appears in the 4th stanza of Francis Scott Key’s 1814 poem that eventually became the national anthem: “And this be our motto — ‘In God is our trust.’ ” In 1864, as the motto became more popular among those who supported the Union during the Civil War, it first appeared on a U.S. coin. Later it appeared on buildings, monuments, postage stamps, souvenirs, and mementos.
Now it can appear on your own wall with this print.
This print presents the official motto of the United States in bold, modern letters on a color background with references to symbols of American democracy: the flag and coat of arms of the United States. In this design, the flag, in the background, is adapted from an 1864 printing of the Emancipation Proclamation while the coat of arms is adapted from an early 20th century engraving of the Great Seal of the United States. A de facto motto of the United States, ᴇ ᴘʟᴜʀɪʙᴜꜱ ᴜɴᴜᴍ, appears under the coat of arms.
All colors are available in all sizes, and all prints are made on high-quality, archival paper. Your order will be printed on-demand and carefully packaged and shipped to your address.

Please note
I strive to fulfill all orders, including custom orders, as quickly as possible—typically within one day for items I have in stock. However, please note that I am a stay-at-home dad to three small children and they come first (if they don’t, they are quick to let me know that my priorities are out of order). So if I am delayed in delivering your order, particularly a custom order, please be patient and understanding. Thank you!
Packing slip
To save weight on shipments, which saves shipping costs, as well as to reduce paper waste, I do not include a packing slip with my shipments. If you would like a packing slip included in your shipment, please message me at the time you place your order. If you need a packing slip for a past order, please message me and I will be happy to provide one for download in PDF.
Free shipping
When free shipping is offered on an item, note that it will be shipped via the lowest-cost service, even if you select a higher-cost service (such as USPS Priority Mail) at checkout.
Not all the items I ordered arrived in the package I received. Where is the rest of my order?
Please note that, because of the various production techniques I use, some orders may arrive in two or more separate packages. You will receive tracking information for each package when it ships.
I purchased the digital version of one of your prints by accident. Can I get a refund?
Yes — as long as you haven’t downloaded it yet (and yes, I can see on my end whether you’ve downloaded it or not). If you’ve purchased the digital version by accident, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT and let me know of the error. We’ll make it right through a refund or exchange, or by figuring out another solution. But once you download the PDF, your purchase can’t be refunded, because there’s no reliable way for me to verify that you’ve deleted the downloaded file from your computer or other storage devices.
