| Description |
The snow-capped mountains in the center of the design represent Utah's mountainous terrain and legendary beauty in winter. The white highlights throughout the design represent Utah's underlying Christian values, which serve to guide the state's political decisions and moral culture. The sun represents the abundant sunshine that Utah receives throughout the year, and the gold color represents the people's freedom-loving spirit. The compass wheel around the sun correctly represents Utah as a crossroads state and an "Adventure State", where people enjoy an outdoor-oriented lifestyle. The green background represents nature and outdoor living, along with the growing eco-friendly culture throughout the state. |
