South Carolina Palmetto and Moon Symbol - State Flag Iconography #3595529 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized green silhouette features a sabal palmetto tree alongside a crescent moon, directly referencing the design of the South Carolina state flag. The imagery commemorates the 1776 Battle of Sullivan’s Island, where palmetto logs were used to construct Fort Moultrie; their spongy wood absorbed British cannonballs. The crescent is derived from the gorget worn by colonial troops under Colonel William Moultrie.
