Honor the Beehive State with the newly designed, premium Utah state flag! A symbol of Utah's rich history and majestic landscapes, this flag is a great choice for displaying Utah pride at your home, business, or public space.

*Flags 8' x 12' and larger use a heavy-duty rope and galvanized thimbles for the added strength needed on larger flags. Flags smaller than that size are equipped with a canvas header and grommets.

Crafted from high-quality nylon, our flag of Utah is designed for durable outdoor flying. The lightweight nature of nylon ensures that the flag flies effortlessly in even the gentlest of winds, while its quick-drying feature helps prevent mildew buildup. The flag’s vibrant colors are digitally printed to create a fade-resistant design.

To maximize the lifespan of your flag, we recommend lowering it during extreme weather conditions. Read our blog post on flag care for more information.

On March 21, 2023, Utahn Governor Spencer Cox signed into law that Utah’s state flag would change on March 9, 2024. The new design results from a competition held by the state, encouraging submissions by the public. This flag retains the familiar symbol of the beehive, representing Utahns' work ethic, with the addition of a five-pointed star to symbolize statehood. The shape of the colors in the background mimics Utah’s natural landscapes, depicting white mountains below a blue sky, with the red, rocky ground underneath.

For creating a flag in the wind effect we need to merge all visible layers. We will apply effects on all layers of the file. Go to Image » Merge Visible Layers (CTRL + M). In Layers Merge Option set: Expanded as necessary and click on Merge. All layers will be merged. Only one layer will be creted. Select this layer (make this layer active in Layers Window) and go to Filters » Distorts » Curve Bend. Now change the curve to your own (select Automatic Preview to view the outcome). If you have changed the curve then click on Copy button (below the Modify Curves graph) to get the curve effect in the top and in the bottom of the flag.

Each Utah state flag is outfitted with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for easy and secure attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. These flags are available in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, and 5’ x 8’. For more options, contact us for a custom flag quote.

So we need to use some blur effect to blur the rough lines. Click on Retangle Select Tool (  ) and select the whole flag from top to bottom but don't select the left and right borders of the flag because they are straight and don't need the blur effect.
