Description |
I chose the color blue for one part because it Symbolizes faith and Heaven. I chose the color red for another part because it Symbolizes war and Strength. I chose the color purple for the last part because it Symbolizes Nobility and Spirituality. All of the colors have their own meanings and they all have Something to do with Utah, wars, religion, and faith. This is because Utah has many Mormons and Urvived numerous wars against themselves and the Natives. I chose honeycombs and honeybees because we're known as the "Beehive State" which is also why I chose a beehive. I chose feathers to Symbolize our State bird which is the California Gull. I chose a Sego lily in the middle because it's Utah's State flower. |
