Arizona State Flag - Official Design, Symbolism & History #1738230 (License: Personal Use)

The Arizona state flag features 13 alternating red and yellow rays-symbolizing the setting sun and the original 13 colonies-rising from a copper-colored star centered on a blue lower half, representing the state’s mining legacy and clear skies. Designed by Charles Harris and officially adopted in 1917, it remains one of the most distinctive U.S. state flags. Its vivid palette reflects Arizona’s desert landscapes and cultural pride.
