Utah state flag
For more than a century the flag of Utah featured the state seal at its center. In 2024, however, the state adopted an entirely new design. The new flag features a dark blue band at the top, symbolizing Utah's skies and lakes. The white band in the middle, with its jagged top, represents the state's snowcapped mountains. The red band at the bottom symbolizes the red-rock canyons in the southern part of the state. At the center of the flag is a gold beehive representing the state's early history as well as the state motto, “Industry.” Below that is a white five-pointed star, representing the star that was added to the U.S. flag when Utah became a state in 1896.
