Colors: Orange - represents Utah's Canyon Country and desert landscapes; also represents Courage Green - represents Utah's fertile land; also represents a healthy way of life Blue - represents Utah's lakes, rivers and streams, and clear skies; also a reminder of Utah previous flag colors Black - represents Utah's dark skies; also represents Determination despite national and global challenges, and a reminder that native and pioneer Utahns have looked to the heavens for direction White - represents the Greatest Snow on Earth; also represents Harmony and Peace Gray - represents Utah's wealth from rich natural resources Symbols: Arch - Utah is home to the world's highest concentration of natural arches; it is also symbolic of Utah strength and stability as a state. Black at the top of the flag - the (dark) sky represents the heavens and is placed on the flag so as to be above all things that make up Utah. Arrowhead/Mountain - placed in the center of the flag to give central prominence to Utah's native people and its iconic mountains. Other noteworthy features: If selected, this flag would become only the second U.S. flag to prominently feature the color orange (Arizona is the other flag) and it would be the only U.S. State flag to feature an Arrowhead. |
