This image shows the current official flag of the United States, featuring 50 white five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows on a blue canton, representing the 50 states, and 13 alternating red and white stripes symbolizing the original Thirteen Colonies. The design has remained unchanged since Hawaii became the 50th state in 1960. Its proportions follow the 10:19 ratio as defined by executive order.
