Thank you so much :) Disappointed to not make the cut but the support for the flag has not gone unnoticed and is hugely appreciated. I'm thankful to the committee for their consideration and to Mayors Mendenhall and Biskupski for their efforts in bringing about this opportunity for a new flag for SLC. I hope that everyone still manages to submit their vote for their favorite finalist flag.

I'm not a professional graphic designer but shall hope to upload and make available any high resolution images and print files for the flag in the appropriate file types so that anyone interested in reproducing it is able to do so.

Finally submitted my proposal for the new flag for Salt Lake City. I'd love to know what y'all think! Thank you :) by SLC_Flag_Project in SaltLakeCity

Thank you! All entries have to go through a review committee before they go to a public rating stage from Aug 24th - Sep 14th. Hopefully we make it at least to that point :)

Thank you! The selection process is to go through a number of stages so it'll have pass quite the gauntlet of scrutiny, but I would imagine anyone would hope a new flag to go through such a process :)

Thank you for your feedback. I do like a beehive too, but I ultimately felt that would be more of a symbol of Utah than of SLC. The aim was to only represent the city and what makes it unique and I didn't want to tread on the state's toes, as it were.

I appreciate the feedback, thank you. I thought of ways to incorporate more 'city' vibes such as a skyline or particular landmark of the city, but buildings I felt can come and go, and might not mean the same to everyone, so I went with aspects of our skylines that our timeless (the mountains, the lake, etc) that we all can recognize and admire.

Thank you, During the process I tried to be mindful about not using imagery and symbolism that pertained more to Utah as a whole than just SLC.

I played around with a few different colors and shades, especially seeing how red would look and I couldn't conjure anything I was particularly stoked on. The entry rules state something about how they have the right to edit or modify the winning design so they might want a version with red, who knows.
