Utah's state flag task force has announced a design for a proposed new flag. It's up to the Utah State Legislature to approve it.
The Utah State Flag Task Force has approved a final design, with a beehive in a hexagon as its central symbol.
Those designs were selected from 5,703 submissions — more than 3,200 from adults and 2,500 from students. The final design takes elements from two of the designs the public ranked highest, the task force members said. The proposed new Utah state flag, a design approved by the Utah State Flag Task Force and announced on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2022.
Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson called the star a symbol of hope, and “a symbol a lot of people who came to Utah, people who lived here before the pioneers and early settlers.” Across the middle, behind the hexagon, is a white mountain range, symbolizing the Wasatch Mountain landscape, as well as peace, the task force said. The red stripe across the bottom, the task force said, is a nod to the red rocks of southern Utah.
“[It’s] a flag that has a little piece of everything for everyone, a flag that everyone can look at and see themselves in,” said state Sen. Dan McCay, R-Lehi, who co-sponsored — with Rep. Stephen Handy, R-Layton — the original bill to start the process to seek a new flag design.
