White sego lily with yellow six-pointed star for center in blue circle with yellow outline, blue and white stripes are in central section with partial yellow hexagons (honeycomb) on the left and right edges

Starting off with the symbols incorporated into my flag design, the most obvious is the Sego Lily in the heart of the flag. The Sego Lily is both native to Utah and its state flower, which I think everyone in the state can connect with. Moving to the left and right sides of the flag there is a honeycomb pattern meant to symbolize the beehive which has been a significant symbol to Utahns since its creation as a state. The beehive which the honeycomb symbolizes also represents cooperation and industry, which is a vital part of Utah. And finally, to the midsection of the flag, there are 9 stripes alternating in blue and white. These represent the 5 national parks and the 4 major lakes within Utah. Now for the colors. The gold represents its beautiful golden fields and mountain valleys. The blue represents the great lakes and rivers of Utah, and the white represents its snow-capped mountains and its bright future. The blue and white stripes are also a motif to the flag of Deseret, a significant part of Utahn's history and culture.
