Beehive - Industry The beehive is a classic and iconic symbol representing the industrial pioneering spirit of all Utahns. The beehive symbol rests inside a navy blue roundel, taken from the original flag's design, which represents the history of Utah, and Utah's legacy flag. The yellow of the beehive represents our shared heritage and optimism for the future. Sego Lily - Native Tribes The Sego Lily is a hardy desert blossom commonly used by indigenous peoples and early settlers. The sego lilies represent our shared heritage, and specifically the native tribes of Utah, including the Ute (including Goshute, Piute), Shoshone, and Dine' (Navajo) peoples, and our commitment to remembering and preserving the beautiful land and nature of Utah. Utah Red The bottom red triangle represents the earth, Utah's mountains, Utah's famous Red Rock country, and borrows from the Red in the United States flag. Liberty Blue The blue triangles represent peace, justice, tranquility, liberty, the water of the Great Salt Lake, and the sky. This shade of sky-blue was adopted from the flag of Salt Lake City, Utah's cultural center and Capital city. Mountain White The White triangle represents the sky, snow, salt, as well as peace and unity, and also represents the Creator, Great Spirit, or God. The meeting of the white and red triangles can represent the meeting of earth and sky, or the Creator and its creations. Crossroads of the West The crossing X shape represents diverse cultures and peoples meeting and living in Utah, the crossroads of the West, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the intersection of humanity and nature. |
