Description *the beehive image and state out line were copywrite so one has the neat design and the other is one I did. The hexagon represents the 6 original tribes and is symbolic to the beehive. The red and yellow arrows pointing away and toward the main design represent a compass. No matter where you go in Utah north south east or west there is something memorable that can only be found in Utah. The beehive is to show that this is the beehive state with Utah being the door to it. The colors are to also represent all of Utah, the blue and white for the mountains and the red and orange for southern Utah. Red stands for power and courage. Blue is for good fortune and determination. Yellow is a symbol of the sun's energy and represents happiness. Orange is courage and sacrifice. And white is a symbol of peace, purity, and harmony. All of the colors represent the values and people of Utah while encompassing every corner of our state.
