Description |
Shape represents a window, representing openness and transparency. Red-white-blue represents America. Gold represents Utah, gold, the desert, and an a star (It's abstract!), further representing statehood. The colours of the flag (Red white and blue) don't have any specific meaning and can be whatever you want, but I suggest blue for the sky, white for oppertunity, and red for either sunset, rock, Utahns, or (Emphasis on this one) Delicate Arch. Note that the central areas are empty, they are holes. As mentioned above, this represents transparency. This would also make the Utahn flag unique and make it stand out. I also feel there are too few flags with holes. |
