• Year First Flown: 1913
• Designed By: Harry Edwards (seal)
• Design: A blue flag with the Great Seal of Utah placed in the center and encircled in yellow. The seal consists of images such as: an eagle, the U.S. Flag, a beehive, sego lily flowers, and arrows. The seal also includes the state motto "Industry" and the years "1847" and "1896".
• Meaning: The eagle in the seal is specifically an American bald eagle and is used to represent the protection that the U.S. promises to provide to Utah in times of both war and peace. The U.S. flags that appear on either side of the eagle represent Utah's allegiance to and support of the United States of America. The beehive in the center of the seal stands for the state's nickname (The Beehive State) and symbolizes hard work and perseverance. The sego lily flowers that surround the beehive are the state flower of Utah and represent peace. The date 1847 signifies the year that the Mormons arrived in Utah, and the year 1896 represents the year that Utah was admitted to the Union and became a state.

Utah first became a state on January 4th of 1896, and in that same year the Utah State Legislature got to work on an official state flag. This first flag design included a blue backgroundwith a white illustration of The Great Seal of Utah. The flag was finished and adopted by the end of 1896, and went unchanged until 1913. In 1912, the Sons and Daughters of Utah Pioneers had a flag created for the battleship USS Utah. The new flag design consisted of a blue background, an illustration of the Great Seal of Utah in color, and a thin line of gold that encircled the seal. All who laid eyes on this new flag thought it was beautiful and believed that it should be the new official Utah state flag design. Governor William Spry agreed, and officially adopted the new design when he signed the House Joint Resolution in 1913.
