Flag and Logo Update!
We have updated our flag to the Progress Flag!
Daniel Quasar’s Progress Pride Flag Impact Facts:
Original Multi-Colored Rainbow Flag was designed by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 in San Francisco
Transgender Pride Flag (white, pink, and light blue stripes) designed by transgender activist and veteran Monica Helms in 1999
Artist Daniel Quasar combined both renderings to reimagine and re-design the Progress Pride Flag in 2018
The flags black and brown stripes represent marginalized LBGT communities of color, community members lost to HIV/AIDS, and those currently living with AIDS
Quasar reshaped the new flag colors into a chevron to represent a need for forward movement
Quasar wanted to, “shift focus and emphasis to what is important in our current community climate.” Specifically, to draw attention to the need to center and support black and brown queer and trans people, as well as those living with AIDS

In alignment with our move to the Progress flag, we have also updated our logo to reflect the Transgender Flag colors. We will be slowly transitioning all of our materials to this new logo. This Logo was also designed by Lauren Kourafas.
