The Arizona state flag features a copper colored star in the center with rays of light on the top and a solid blue bar on the bottom. The 13 rays of red and gold are arranged in a sun shape representing the sunset and Arizona's location in the West. The 13 rays are also representative of the original 13 colonies. The blue bar at the bottom is the same shade of Liberty Blue that is used in the U.S. flag, symbolizing Arizona's place in the Union. The copper star in the center of the flag is a nod to Arizona's history of copper production.
