LGBTQIA+ Progress Flag

Non-binary designer Daniel Quasar reinterpreted the 1978 Baker design to keep the added inclusivity of the Philadelphia and Seattle flags while sharpening the original rainbow stripes and placing marginalized communities at the forefront. For Quasar, the light blue, pink, and white stripes represent trans and non-binary people, and the brown and black stripes represent marginalized people of colour — the black stripe carrying a double meaning as a reference to those living with AIDS and the stigma surrounding them.

> "The arrow points to the right to show forward movement [...] and illustrates that progress still needs to be made." — Daniel Quasar

Quasar posted the design on 6 June 2018 and it quickly went viral, later releasing it under a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use. Quasar has since developed interchangeable arrow-and-background merchandise to accommodate further redesigns — a fitting reminder that the flag is always a work in progress.
