Description The blue sideways mountains represent years prior to the 1800's (the time period of native peoples). The white zigzag represents 1847-1896, or the years spanning the arrival of the Latter-Day Saint settlers in the Salt Lake Valley to the founding of Salt Lake City as the state capital. The gold zigzag represents the 1900s-2000s, or the years of the city's economic modernization, culminating in the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics, a celebrated global event. The white sideways sky is our current era. Each blue star in the sky represents a unique, five part responsibility: Top Star represents the responsibility of our INDUSTRY // 1) Technology, 2) Finance, 3) Arts & Culture, 4) Charity / Volunteerism, and 5) Education. Middle Star represents the responsibility of our SUSTAINABILITY // 1) Food, 2) Water, 3) Air, 4) Resources, and 5) Knowledge Bottom Star represents the responsibility of our DIVERSITY // 1) Gender / Sexual Orientation, 2) Religious / Spiritual, 3) Ethnic / Cultural, 4) Socioeconomic, and 5) Generational.
