| Description |
"This redesign seeks to modernize the symbolism found in the current state flag to be more distinctive and memorable. The star and field of indigo blue allude to the US flag's canton, which signifies our statehood and our commitment to the Union. The blue therefore represents justice and integrity, relating to the meaning of the US's blue. The upright gold pentagon symbolizes a beehive, representing industry. The two white triangles together with the beehive conveys the colors of a sego lily, which represents peace. The overall triangle shape suggests a mountain, Utah's signature geography. The two gold bars represent honey bees (the smallest detail of the current flag) to reinforce the theme of industry and community." |
