The state seal appears on a blue field. In the center of the seal is a beehive, the state emblem, with a sego lily growing on either side. The sego lily stands for peace. The state motto, “Industry,” means steady effort. The date 1847 represents the year Brigham Young led the Mormons to  Salt Lake Valley. The date 1896 represents the year Utah gained admission to the Union of the United States.
