The comments on the new Utah flag, wishing it had the dates on it, the word Industry, and the NAME Utah on it, really are confusing to me
A good flag design does not need words to distinctify it
Simple vexiloligy
@windley@BeehiveFlag Old flag has Utah controlled by the Feds — surrounded by the eagle and US flags. Reminds me of Utah’s early history and being bossed around. New flag gets rid of that historical baggage.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
House votes 40-35. Both chambers have now approved the redesign of the utah state flag. Concurrence vote in the Senate remaining. #newflagUT#utpol#slc
Utah is on the cusp of approving a new state flag, which is an insanely difficult thing to do. It's headed toward a final vote (and a procedural vote.)
I don't care for borderline religious symbolism on a state flag, but bees do make the world go round. Good bill, should pass.
@danmccay Utah's symbol is the beehive, which means "working hard together." Which flag will spread this symbolism more and make it easier to see? In 1 year the new flag will have greater use than the old has had in 110 years. Keep both! And let each flag do what it does best!
Versatility is key in flags. If a flag can be easily modified in order to convey another meaning or symbolism while remaining recognisable it is a even better flag.
