Region: South
Emblem:
Crescent moon; upper-case "SC".
A crescent moon appears prominently on the current flag and is a traditional state symbol. It also appears on state license plates.
Field:
Uncolored bar above a colored bar.
References the fact that the state is the southern of the two Carolinas. The colored bar represents South Carolina while the uncolored bar above it represents North Carolina. North Carolina's flag's field is the inverse of this flag's field.
