the seventeen stars represent that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the country. the 13 stars around the circle (which doesn't include the 4 in the diamond shape on the right) represent the U.S. original colonies.
The blue and the red and white stripes are to mimick the U.S. flag. The blue triangle also represents the hills and valleys of Ohio and the stripes also represent the roads and waterways of the state.
The large circle is in an O shape for "O"hio. It also represents that Ohio is the 'buckeye' state.

The large blue triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys, and the stripes represent roads and waterways. The 5 stripes also represent that Ohio is one of the five states that comprised the Northwest Territory (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin). The 17 stars symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the union. The 13 stars on the left, above, and below the circle are for the 13 original colonies of the United States. The white circle with its red center not only represents the first letter of the state's name, but also its nickname, "the Buckeye State."
There are 17 Stars to indicate that it was the 17th State in the Union.
