South Carolina Palmetto and Moon Symbol - Official State Emblem #246626 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized green silhouette depicts the palmetto tree and crescent moon-the central elements of the South Carolina state flag and seal. The design commemorates the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where palmetto logs absorbed British cannon fire. The crescent, originally a gorget (a neck guard), evolved into a symbol of vigilance and resilience.
