Description This design is meant to reference the unique geography and natural beauty that defines Utah. The negative space formed at the meeting points of the stripes creates the outline of Utah as if it were seen from the skies above. White rises from the north, referencing snowy mountains and salt flats. Orange comes from the east, honoring the famous red rocks identified with our state. Blue drops to the south, reminiscent of Lake Powell and river adventures. Yellow reaches to the west, alluding to sunsets that grace our varied landscapes. In simple geometric and colorful terms, the design evokes what residents and visitors love about our state.
