Blue background with large stylize beehive taking up all but upper left corner where white star is located

This is a simple flag featuring beautiful yellow stripes. THE KLETTING BEEHIVE The beehive was designed by Utah's most significant architect, Richard Kletting. Kletting was an environmentalist (Kletting Peak is named for him) and was known for his many designs including Saltair and the Utah State Capitol Building. This unique beehive is featured in cut-glass windows at the Capitol--including the room where the first meeting of the Flag Taskforce took place. With its semicircular shape and undulating lines, Kletting's century-old design is at once both historical and remarkably modern looking. By making it large and shifting it to the side, it becomes beautiful stripes. --Meaning: The beehive is the symbol of Community Collaboration and in common throughout the nation and the world for centuries. Its meaning of working hard together ("industry" in 19th Century parlance) is a vital value for Modern Utahns as much as it was for the pioneers. As the Salt Lake Bees posted on social media, no matter where we come from or what our diverse identities are, "we're all part of the same hive." THE UTAH STAR A star rises. It is created with the proportions of 47 for the interior points and 96 for the outer points--representing 1847 and 1896. It is rotated 4.5 degrees clockwise--representing Utah as the 45th state. --Meaning: This star carries with it the history and struggles of Utah to become a state. It stands for how Utahns of all identities came together. Utah's star is rising, because Utahns are always rising to greater heights together. THE FLAG'S COLORS SEGO GOLD: The color of the Kletting Beehive/Sunrise was sampled from the yellow center of a Sego Lily, Utah's state flower. HERITAGE BLUE SILK: The blue is symbolic of Utah's sky and lakes and was sampled from Utah's first flag, which was made of homespun Utah silk. WHITE: Snow. Although simple, this flag follows the flag design guidelines nicely.
