Georgia's new official flag was adopted on January 30, 2001.
Georgia's previous, controversial flag was based on the Confederate flag, which was a painful reminder of slavery to many people.
The new flag was designed as a compromise, picturing the older flag in miniature.
On a blue field the Georgia flag showcases the state seal, a ribbon expresses Georgia's flag history and the words "In God We Trust".
Thirteen stars surrounding the seal denotes Georgia's position as one of the original thirteen colonies.
On the seal three pillars supporting an arch represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive.
A man with sword drawn is defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation.
The date 1776 represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
A ribbon displays the thirteen star U.S. flag (I777-1795),
Georgia's first flag (I879), Georgia's I920-I956 flag, Georgia's I956 flag and the 50 star U.S. flag.
