Arizona State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #1738249 (License: Personal Use)

The Arizona state flag displays 13 alternating red and yellow rays representing the 13 original U.S. colonies and the state’s sunsets, with a copper-colored star symbolizing Arizona’s rich copper mining industry. The bottom half is solid blue, honoring the Union and reflecting the sky over the desert landscape. Designed by Charles Harris, it was officially adopted in 1917 and remains one of the most distinctive state flags in the U.S.
