Breaking a Flag Into Parts

To make great flags at scale, we broke a flag into pieces:

1. Backgrounds — the foundation. For Utah, people would want mountains. (Are mountains uniquely Utah? No. But Utahans love them.)
2. Layouts — arrangements and shapes that create a place for a symbol.
3. Icons — Utah has a lot of official symbols. Cooking pot. State vegetable. Beehive. Dinosaur tracks. Sharp-eyed users might notice an oil derrick or other surprises.
4. Colors — a set of colors drawn from real flags, with extra browns and reds for the red-rock West.
