The current flag features a navy blue field with a golden circle in the center. Inside the circle, there is a beehive symbolizing industry and hard work, with the state motto “Industry” below it. Around the beehive is a sego lily, the state flower of Utah. The sego lily represents peace and the native flora of the region.
