White beehive resembling clouds above a red rock mesa with a yellow golden spike

"The license plates and welcome signs of this state all sport a distinct color design: Orange, light blue, and white. Those colors represent the landscape you often see here in Utah. Using the orange mountains with white clouds against a light blue sky, the look of the beehive begins to take shape; another popular symbol for the state of Utah. To top it off, a gold spike is added at the bottom to create the beehive doorway, and to commemorate the historic moment of combining two major railroads to create the first Transcontinental Railroad."
