Utah recently introduced a proposed new flag . The legislature still has to adopt the new design. I did not participate in the design contest, though below are two designs I created 10 years ago.
A custom-designed Utah state flag. The beehive is a classic symbol for Utah, representing industry. The red arch harkens to the features of southern Utah. The white represents the famous snow. The blue symbolizes the Great Salt Lake. The green represents the several national forests in the state. The forty-five stars remind us that Utah was admitted as the forty-fifth state.
