Utah Beehive Flag | 2023 Redesign
Bought together
🏴 New 2023 Utah state flag (beehive flag) with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The new Utah flag (or Beehive Flag as it is sometimes called) fits well within the ranks of the best US State Flags. All Utahns should be proud of the beehive flag and what it represents.
The red base represents the iconic red earth of southern Utah and its canyons.
The white mountains represent the best snow on earth and the five peaks of the mountains represent the five indigenous tribes of Utah.
Above that is a blue sky which the final legislation says represents faith.
The hexagon in the center represents the people of Utah and their strength. Inside of it is the iconic beehive that you see around the state. It represents Industry, community and the year 1847. Below it is a five-pointed star which represents the year 1896 which is when Utah finally became a US State.

My involvement: In 2020, I redesigned Utah's flag as part of my Better State Flag series. I even released it at TEDxUSU to a standing ovation. My design was entered into the larger contest and was one of the 70+ designs that influenced the final design.
A few months after starting Flags For Good, I realized I could fulfill my childhood dream of redesigning bad US State flags. So that's what I'm doing!
Our flags are made from a custom-selected durable polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap and thin).

Single-sided flags are one piece of our durable fabric with full color on both sides. These are great for indoor use AND outdoor poles because they are light-weight and catch a breeze easily. If the design has text, it will be mirrored on the back. If there are no options, this is the default way we make our flags.
Double-sided flags are three layers of fabric that allow zero light through. They are therefore heavier, and work great as indoor display flags. You can definitely use them outside, but it takes more wind to get going and they could damage flagpoles in extreme wind conditions due to their added weight. Any text on the design will read correctly on both sides.
Each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
