On March 15, 1925, this flag was adopted by the U.S. state of New Mexico. It's a widely liked flag for (imo) good reason. The design is simple and striking, the colors go very well together and fit a relatively arid state, and the Zia sun symbol does a great job distinguishing this flag from others.

The Zia Sun symbol comes from Zia Pueblo. And it only seems reasonable that they should collect a royalty from the state of NM for the use of this symbol.
