South Carolina State Flag Symbolism - Palmetto Tree & Crescent Moon #51103 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem features a stylized Sabal palmetto tree beside a crescent moon, representing the state flag of South Carolina. The palmetto honors the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where palmetto logs absorbed British cannon fire; the crescent derives from colonial militia uniforms. Both elements are rendered in deep brown with light blue outlines against a clean white field.
