The seal shows the state outline of Indiana in a silver gradient color, along
with a black star representing the town's location in the state. Along with the
start are depictions of a boot in the color of Morocco red, two hands shaking,
and a beaver. The boots refer to the one of the possible origins of the town's
name, being named after a traveler wearing Morocco red colored boots. the hands
possibly represent the town's motto "Home of Hoosier Hospitality", which is a
term that can be defined as the people of Indiana's love and care for their
state, and each other. The beaver, more particularly, the North American Beaver
can be found around Morocco, as they are native to area.
