Description |
On a dark blue background with snowcapped mountains (Utah means "people of the mountains") a central copper ring (symbolizing Utah's natural resources and red rock landscaping) with crossed spike and pickaxe indicative of Utah history, crossroads of the West, "This is the Place," and styled after a shield of Utah's indigenous people, with a beehive in the center. A star represents statehood. Optional: A green aspen tree and a yellow aspen tree on each side of the beehive. Aspen is the state tree and symbolizes unity (one tree cannot grow alone) with diversity and change shown in its leaves. |
