lone star

Solitary celestial symbol

Lone star refers to a single five-pointed star, most famously associated with Texas, whose flag features one white star on blue and red bands.

Texas is called the Lone Star State, and the symbol appears throughout Texan culture and branding: a Lone Star belt buckle, grabbing a Lone Star beer.

The image evokes independence and self-reliance—Texas was briefly an independent republic before joining the United States.
