Talk:Flag of Utah

message: Before I fix it, I would like some feedback. The first sentence of this entry is not correct. The Utah State Flag was adopted in 1913, not 2011. The 2011 resolution merely instructs to follow "the statutory flag description" which was adopted in 1913. Specifically, the resolution points out that the date 1847 was technically in the wrong place in the interpretations of the flag made since 1922. On the prototype flag that was made to show the legislature in 2011, the 1847 date was put back onto the shield. There were a few other artistic differences not mentioned in statute or resolution. The shield was made white to match the 1913 physical flag and 45 stars were now visible on the U.S. Flags depicted on the Utah Flag--but these minor interpretations did not consist of a new state flag being ADOPTED by the legislature.  
Also, the flag's design is NOT the state's seal precisely. It is very similar, it is based upon it, but it is NOT the seal.
Also, the color is NOT specified as "Dark Navy Blue" in the statute.
Also, the main image of the flag should NOT be the 2011 prototype flag, since there was not anything statutory about that flag being special. It was basically a quick rendition to depict a more accurate version of the flag. Instead, it would make sense to depict the flag that the state currently orders and uses, which would be the image that is strangely labeled the "enhanced variant." That "enhanced variant" label should be dropped; it is the current flag being used the most and is also much better looking than the prototype used for a few months in 2011.

thread_title:  Changes Needed 

message: It looks like the flag has never been correctly made. Article mentions a couple of weird historical facts regarding diff between what was mandated and what was actually made - it misses the fact that still today flags are made incorrectly with the "1847" utterly misplaced:http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50931358-76/flag-state-utah-shield.html.csp ... 99.141.243.84 (talk) 17:55, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The 'historic flag' isn't just a term - it remains an official Utah State Flag that can be used as such, in specific situations for governmental business (See Utah Code 63G-1-503)
We have a bit of a back and forth. Given that it remains an official State Flag, I think it ought to be included as that. Pressue (talk) 07:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Historic Flag 

message: The new flag is in a 3:5 ratio. Is the historical flag 5:8? That's asserted to be what it was always produced at; I want to see if there are sources to confirm. —C.Fred (talk) 21:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Look at the statue. The images of the Historic Flag are 3:5. Prior to this, there has never been any designation in the statute on any ratio. The statute still does not so specify any ratio. Daikaisho (talk) 04:35, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
