In 1934 the Finnish government did set up a committee to design state coat of arms with full achievement. Sketches were made by artist Germund Paaer, with bears as supporters and a motto “VAPAA, VANKKA, VAKAA” (“Free, strong, stable”), but during the turmoils of World War II the project was forgotten and abandoned.
