Description |
I wanted to make a simpler flag design for Utah. The colors I used represent snow (white), water/the Salt Lake (blue), orange/red (red rocks). I tried to do an almost tribal design to represent the Native American tribes in Utah. I added an arch to represent the Delicate Arch, and a blue and white triangle to represent the mountains. I also wanted the colors of the flag to be cohesive with the colors of the 2002 Olympic logo because it's a big part of our recent Utah history. For my Utah flag design, I wanted to focus more on the environment of Utah. The blue represents the Salt Lake the Utah Lake, the orange and red represents the red rocks, and the white represents the snow. In the flag the arch represents the red rocks and the delicate arch. The blue triangle with the white outline represents the mountains with snow. I also chose this particular color palette because it is similar to the colors in the logo from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics which is an important part of our history. |
