Description |
"This flag design is being submitted on behalf of Lori by her husband Colby. In this design Lori used some of my templates. She wants a flag that says Utah on it. Colors: This flag contains red, white, and blue as a tribute to where our foundation comes from and reflects or mirrors the patriotism and ideals of the founding fathers. In addition the white is a representation of our white capped mountains and recreational opportunities provided through winter sports. The Red also sits under the top mountains representing our natural resources and minerals. The red also sits above the lower mountains representing our gorgeous sunsets and natural vistas. Mountain Outlines: The lines on the flag contain silhouettes of mountains surrounding Salt Lake (upper left), Ogden (Upper Right), Combs Ridge (lower left) and Logan (lower right). The combs ridge dip or pass where the freeway goes through has special significance to me due to being cut out by my great grandfather Thorald Clark Rich. He was one of the many workers who helped build the road. He was a bulldozer operator.The lower silhouettes also have added outlines of prominent natural structures such as Mexican Hat (lower left) and Delicate Arch (lower right)." |
