@queerchevron-blog
hi friends! you may have heard or seen something about these chevron queer flags that people have been making, so I decided to make a gray ace one!! this is totally free to use as your icon or whatever you want, I just ask that you credit me if you do use it!! i’m hoping to make some gray ace + romantic orientation versions soon as well! :) enjoy!!
@queerchevron
Made a new aplatonic/aromantic/asexual queer chevron. I’m quite happy with this one. Fellow aplaroaces, feel free to use this one!
[Image description: a square, divided equally into horizontal stripes of black, grey, and white. The middle has a chevron of yellow, green, and violet, overlapping slightly with the black and white stripes.]
@queerchevron, for your collection.
The thought process: I based it off the standard ace flag, this aro flag, and the newest apl flag. I made the shared colors (black/grey/white) the background and the unique ones (yellow/green/violet) the chevron. Thought it looked best like that.
Can you make the queer flag with the aro and the juxera flag as a background? (there are two juxera flags, i mean the one with the stripes). Alternatively one of the nb flags or the gq flag? Thanks
I try, atm its quite stressful but ill try.
But also there are a lot of other awesome creators, maybe one of our followers wants to?

okay so after playing around with the chevrons and colour schemes and stuff for a while (read: my adhd decided everything needed to be fixed so i started colouring in a crapton of individual pixels) i’m finally done with my queer flags!
in order, they’re my Asexual, Bisexual, Agender and Poly queer flags :)
@queerflag @officialqueer @istudyhumanhope @theangrybi @wetwareproblem @intersex-ionality @vaspider @bizexuals @vergess idk who else to tag that’s involved in the queer flag stuff, i know y’all already have a queer ace flag, but i think i’d rather this as it looks a bit less busy and keeps the same purple chevrons. also it only has the white once. i was wondering what y’all think? (i edited the transparent queer chevrons in ms paint so that’s probably why it’s very low quality lmao)
*fixed the image quality, looks alot nicer now
A million billion HQ queer chevrons for u all
[Image: Two purple chevrons (Like a sort of a thick V thing that’s like long so it stretches across the page (I am so bad at describing things)). The top one is lilac followed by a small space between the second one, which is a dark, almost muted purple]
[Image: Same as above, but with a third chevron below the dark purple, which is the same lilac color as the top]
I made a ton of queer chevrons yesterday and definitely don’t have the time to sort/put image descriptions on them all right now, so here’s a big folder of a jillion chevrons ya’ll can choose from!
[Link to album]
ALSO:
If anyone would like to help me out by typing out a small blurb explaining what the queer chevrons are, why they got so popular, their origin, and anythying else you might find relevant about them so I can copy-paste it in the description when I upload it on DA. I can draw you a thing in return!
Something like “Queer chevrons were first suggested by [blahblah] because queer people had been trying to design a flag that represented them and people like them because [blahblah]”
(Also maybe something that’s better than my image description, (”a stretchy V thing” probably isn’t the best descriptor heh)

The development of this version of the queer flag was a process of alot of minds combined. First there was the wish for a queer flag in general for us (wich was I think also a bit out of protest as REGs tried to deny us to identify with queer). A lot of ideas came together and it was @officialqueer that suggested lavender as a color because lavender is a queer color and also non-straight lines like cheron as we are queer and not Straight ™ Out of this @istudyhumanhope created the Zigzag flag, but they were a bit overwhelming in the sensory processing for some, especially in this post that I linked before. So i think it was @vaspider that suggested the form of these chevrons and @bizexuals that created the flag out of the combination of vaspiders idea and some input from the zigzag flag (e.g. the two different lavender/purple colors)
The white background (not perfect fff white for sensory processing) is in reference to light, as white light is the combination of all the colors of the rainbow.
I hope this helps!
For reference, here is the original conversation between @officialqueer and me about the queer chevron. I have permission to post this. This conversation took place between the pastel pride flag and the first zig-zag purple and white flag being created, on 10/3/2016 at some ung-dly hour of the morning.
officialqueer also check out the two new flag ideas!!
vaspider Where?
officialqueer
one sec x2http://officialqueer.tumblr.com/post/151277458988/this-is-my-and-the-thought-museums-take-on-a
vaspider sent a post The Color Lavender
Ok so…… while the pastels are a cool idea
Think about how THAT would look if you made an actual flag
officialqueer yeah, prob kinda just…pale
vaspider It would be visually indistinguishable from a regular Pride Flag someone had left out all summer
officialqueer and unnoticable yeeee
vaspider No one would understand what it meant.
officialqueer maybe it can be an online spefici one
colours need to be more vibrant
vaspider What if the stripes weren’t?
officialqueer holy fuck LAVENDER
vaspider What if they were diagonal?
officialqueer omg that was my original idea tbh!!
vaspider What if it was a chevron?
officialqueer OMGOMG I LOVE IT
HOLY COW
THAT’D ACTUALLY BE SO RAD
vaspider What if it was lavender and white stripes?
In a chevron?
officialqueer I REALLY LIKE THAT
vaspider Lavender is a queer color
White light includes all colors of light
And we don’t move in straight lines
We defy conventions
And classifications.So
officialqueer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THAT’S SO GOOD AND IMPORTANT |
Im gonna bitch it to the person who designed the last two and see if they cn whip one up
PITCHTHAT SHOULD SAY PTUCJ
vaspider I would say lavender with a single white chevron
And an alternate flag with a big black Q on it for those who like those things.
officialqueer I DIG IT
vaspider Same flag but add a big black q
officialqueer oh man these are aeweocme
vaspider This would also let you do things like
“Queer flag plus blue Star of David” = Queer Jews
“Queer flag plus gold cross” = Queer Xian
Etc
officialqueer NOW I REALLY DIG THAT
I love being able to make changes like that
vaspider It’s very adaptable.You could add a hibiscus on it for Hindi queers since iirc that’s a sacred flower
Or whatever
officialqueer I legit love this so much
this is such a nea concept
vaspider It really makes it into something that is very flexible, bc it isn’t so fussy.
A simple flag is much easier to adapt.
officialqueer yeeee and elss busy
vaspider Yup
officialqueer like I liked my original one but there were too many colours realizisitclally
vaspider Yah

Hey, I made some intersex versions of those chevron flags! @queerchevron
Some queer Libraboy/guy/man and Libragirl/women pride!

replied to your
post
:
I may start calling myself “genderqueer” more than…
*thumbs up* … you changed your icon heh. I like how its now in a rythna colour scheme ;)
Thanks! :3 It’s using the queer chevron made by http://bizexuals.tumblr.com/. You can see a bunch of queer “flags” collected here: http://queerchevron.tumblr.com/
Actually, let me drop the full-sized picture here and @ that collection in case they’re interested.
@queerchevron
can you (or someone else with actual design skills) make one with the aro flag stacked on top of the ace flag so they share the black stripe? i've been thinking about changing icons
here are three different versions based on a few different aromantic flags!

[Image description: two more revolutionary queer chevron variations. On the left is Leather/Kink, with a black field, two blue chevrons with a narrow cream chevron between them, and a red heart emblem centered on the chevrons. On the right is a polyamory variant, with a cream field featuring (in top to bottom order) a blue, red, and black chevron.]
@queerchevron
IIRC there was one polyamory variant of the revolutionary queer pride flag already, but I was already dicking around with vector files so I went ahead and made another one (right) to match the leather/kink pride on the left.
Speaking of vectors, if you too are frustrated by fighting with bitmap transparencies, you can download the vector I made here: http://vergess.deviantart.com/art/SVG-Format-Revolutionary-Queer-Pride-Flag-638739129
The vector contains a rectangular cream background, with three independently colorable chevrons, two large and one narrow. I would have made two halves for the background that can also be independently colored, but it was really starting to piss me off, honestly. If you’re using inkscape or similar, it should be very easy to make a half-rectangle to put the chevrons on.
Fun fact: deviantart has changed their submission interface format extensively since I last used it (in 2012, lol), and it makes me want to punch things because change is for nerds or whatever.
Is there a way to make one of these that is all three leather/kink, polyamory, and queer? Because that’s pretty much the only flag I would ever be even a little interested in having.
How do you feel about these?
[Image description: A background of black and blue stripes, as seen on the kink flag, with purple chevrons form the queer flag, and a centered blue/red/black chevron from the polyamory flag. The red section of the centered chevron also has a red heart, as seen on the kink flag.]
[Image description: Although the chevrons of the revolutionary queer pride flag have been retained, the purple color is now gone. Instead, we have the black and blue striped background of the kink flag, while the revolutionary queer chevrons are polyamory colors: Blue, red, and black. The red heart from the kink flag remains centered over the chevrons.]
I quite like the second one, personally.
Hey all my lovely Followers!
First things first: Thank you all for showin your support, for every tike and every reblog!
And a special s/o and thank you to everyone that @ed me anywhere! I am alone on this Library and it is not easy finding all these flags, so, please @ me on flags that you see! I rather be @ed 10x in one flag than to miss another!
Also, if you want to join the party as a mod, you can just send me an ask!
nonbinary and bi flags as queer chevron

@queerchevron These designs are a bit uneven but could they be useful?
I edited the queer flags that @bizexuals made on this post
I changed the weight a little bit for the aromatic one since it has more stripes than the asexual one… I wanted to make a queer aroace flag. (: Also made some other half versions. I put captions on the images to make things easier to understand.
@queerchevron here’s another post you can reblog if you like.
I thought I’d go ahead and create a flag that uses the chevron + the palette I have previously suggested.. The symbolism of the colours goes as follows:
The lavender represents the mix of the binary, it is a combination of the gender associated colours pink and blue. Often we are a blend of two things, or inbetween, or we can have attractions to at least both men and women. And we transcend this binary.
The black represents the rejection of what we are assigned, the rejection of what we are expected to be or have. For example the lack of a gender, or the lack of attraction. But the rejection can also mean of society’s norms.
The yellow represents “other”. If you mix paint, you can not get purple, blue or pink out of yellow. This can represent the identities that exist independent of any binaries, identities that are vague or unspecific.
The grey represents the spectrums that make up our communities. The grey-zones, the unclear. It’s the idea that we don’t fit within society’s boxes, we are a grey-zone in society because we do not fit in what a person is often expected to be (which is to conform to cisheteronormativity).
The chartreuse represents identities which are similar, yet different from what we would call “male” or “female”. Green is very close to blue, but it is not blue, thus it metaphoricly could represent some of these identities which often get talked about the same way.
