Adopted May 8th 2003, the Georgia flag has three red and white stripes with the Georgia state coat of arms on a blue field in the upper left corner.

Thirteen stars surrounding the seal declares Georgia's origin as among the origianal thirteen colonies. The seal itself consists of three pillars supporting an arch which represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive. A man with a drawn sword is depicted defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation. The date 1776 represents the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.

In an effort to respect the tragic history and victims of the Civil War, the "Rebel Flag" was put to rest in favor of this new design in 2003.
