| Description | This flag is meant to be classic, balanced, and a visual depiction of some of Utah's best features. - The blue background represents loyalty and tradition, as well as open sky and opportunity. - The sego lily in the top corner represents beauty and strength in adversity because the early pioneer settlers survived the first harsh winters by eating the sego lily roots. - The arch is an easily recognizable symbol of Utah, and evokes ideas of legs striding into a bright future. The orange color traditionally means courage and sacrifice when used on flags, but it can also represent Utah's iconic desert landscapes, vast natural resources, and many indigenous tribes - The green stripe represents growth, a sustainable future, and Utah's outdoor lifestyle made possible by beautiful forests and plentiful public lands - The purple stripe represents mountains, creativity, and the impressive contributions of Utah's women (being first in the nation to vote, among other things) - The white stripe symbolizes peace and harmony between all of Utah's different groups while also representing Utah's unique salt flats and the "greatest snow on earth" |
