Description I used bee symbols for these flags because Utah is the beehive state. I used bees over beehives because I found the bees to be more visually appealing. The hexagon shape is meant to symbolize honeycomb. As for the colors: I came up with the orange shade from southern Utah's red rock regions. Orange as a color also feels energetic and optimistic on top of being unique and innovative. I came up with the blue and white from the Deseret flag, referencing Utah's origins.
