South Carolina Palmetto and Moon Symbol - State Flag Iconography #2117468 (License: Personal Use)

This stark black-and-white silhouette depicts the iconic palmetto tree and crescent moon-the central elements of the South Carolina state flag. The design honors the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where a palmetto log fort withstood British cannon fire, and the crescent moon recalls the gorget worn by colonial troops. Its clean, symbolic form makes it instantly recognizable across official seals, merchandise, and cultural representations.
