Palmetto Tree and Crescent Moon - South Carolina State Symbol #3414419 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast silhouette features the sabal palmetto-a hardy palm native to the southeastern U.S.-paired with a crescent moon, both central to South Carolina’s identity. The design originates from the 1776 defense of Sullivan’s Island, where a palmetto-log fort withstood British cannon fire. Today, it appears on the state flag, official seals, and cultural merchandise.
