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 and came up with the idea of having the beehive as the A in Utah. The beehive is a representation of industry, cohesiveness, and collaboration for a common good. She picked the orangish color because it is different and appealing to the eye with white and blue. Orange is sometimes used as symbol of courage and sacrifice. 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). |
