| Description |
The symbology behind it is that the hexagon is for Utah being the "Beehive state" IE honeycombs - and the lines either side are supposed to be evocative of a railroad/railway because Utah is where the first transcontinental railway joined up. The state quarter shows two trains meeting, and the slogan "crossroads of the west" so I thought this was apt. |
