"Utah's New State Flag Sparks Potential Flag Redesigns Across the Nation"
Utah has redesigned its state flag, replacing its previous "seal on a bedsheet" design with a yellow beehive, white mountains with five peaks, a blue sky, a red base, and a five-pointed star. The redesign comes amid a growing sense that most state flags are poorly designed and fail at their basic function to clearly signal identity. Other states, including Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota, are also considering redesigning their state flags.
