#pride flag redesign

[rockandrollforinitiative]

I made a super cool and epic redesign of the transmasc pride flag

(Feel free to use it if you want, just please make sure to credit me)

[omenofthestars]

my take on a progress pride redesign

different versions & description under the cut. image descriptions in alt text

flag includes:

a simplified chevron that has:

intersex pride

trans pride

bipoc queer pride (the philly pride flag black/brown stripes)

8 stripes in the rainbow flag ala the gilbert baker pride flag

(puts sex and magic back on the rainbow flag)

3 versions

version 1: everything mentioned above, true to each elements original colours

version 2: a reduced colour version that replaces the trans pink with the gilbert baker pink and replaces the trans blue & gilbert baker turquoise with a blue in between the two

version 3: slightly reduced colours; does not consolidate the pinks & blues but still changes the yellows & purples

v. 3.1: replaces the intersex yellow and purple with the gilbert baker yellow and purple

v. 3.2: replaces the gilbert baker yellow and purple with the intersex yellow and purple

i was planning on making a second type for the second version where there was an intersex pride palette swap like 3.1 but i got too tired and burnt out so. Go my unfinished project.

New bi-gender flag just dropped courtesy of me (no need to credit or anything though the goal of this is to get it to catch on)

Yellow shape: represents progress

Trans symbol: bi-genderism falls under the trans umbrella (and the bi-gender symbol only represents m/f bi-gender folks)

Green dots: represents two genders

Orange stripes: also represents two genders

Green background: bigenderism/bigender identity is natural

Orange/yellow colours: distinct non-gendered (compared to pink/blue) colours

Green colour: goes well with the orange/yellow and represents nature

Also I just like the colour scheme ngl. And not many pride flags have Orange/yellow/green colour schemes so yea.

Feel free to reblog/use/whatever (also disclaimer I am bi-gender)

i wanted to take a stab at actually redesigning the progress flag to accommodate the intersex circle instead of just kind of plastering it on there, so here are the designs i came up with

i created a version that keeps the chevron, but frankly i think the version with the corner stripe looks a lot better, composition wise. i think a circle just kind of looks out of place and awkward inside of a chevron, so the corner stripe is an attempt to frame it more naturally.

i decided to give the purple circle a yellow border, instead of just adding a yellow stripe. my reasoning for this is because i think it makes it hard to figure out where your eyes are supposed to go with the yellow stripe. the progress flag is a lot of very different colors at once, which is hard to make work. i think the version without the intersex stripe works mainly because you have the black line as a sort of divider, with the super saturated rainbow to its right and the pastels to the left, but when adding the yellow stripe to the pastel section, it breaks up the composition and confuses the eye on where it should focus. making the yellow just a border around the purple helps to minimize the drastic contrast, and i think generally is just easier on the eyes. i also adjusted the shade of brown to be redder, basically just trying to even out the tones. ive noticed a lot of progress flags use a shade of brown that just doesnt work with any other color on the flag, so i always try to adjust it to fit better when i portray this flag. be sure to let me know what you think of the flag. i really want to use the intersex-inclusive progress flag, but the proposed one has always ground my gears a bit.

I Propose Some Flag Redesigns

I'm biromantic and asexual, and our pride flag has long bothered me. So, I made this graphic explaining why and offering a few solutions.

[snowbafeld]

So, I'm on making flags rn, tried making a new Androgyne flag to make it more different from the bi flag.

I've attempted both femme and masc androgyne too! I hope these are good! Let me know if there are issues with them lol

neutral androgyne

femme androgyne

masc androgyne

Okay so I “made” a new gender apathetic/apagender flag because the one I found/we have was just kinda lacking for me?? Like it’s okay and I don’t dislike it, but I thought it needed something

So the current one, according to gender fandom wiki or whatever (https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Gender_Apathetic), is by @pridearchive (idk why I can’t tag them but I also just don’t understand tumblr so oh well)

But anyway, I’m not a huge fan of the fact that a lot of the definition relies upon the usage of the word “lazy” a lot, because like, while it’s true that laziness and apathy are similar, they are not the same. I was confused for MONTHS as to why everyone around me cared so much about their gender, both cis and trans people, and I just didn’t. Like, I thought my dad might understand cause we talk about queer stuff all the time and he was like “???… but I am a man, that’s just a fact… are you saying there’s people who don’t care??” And that confused me more cause I was like “wait even cis people care that much about their gender expression??” Because for me, I thought that trans people really cared about their gender identity and expression because of the dysphoria they dealt with from being born as the opposite sex. So, to hear that cis people also have a strong sense of gender and really care about the way they present and are perceived threw me for a loop.

So I went down this rabbit hole for, as stated previously, MONTHS, just trying to figure out if anyone felt the way I did because I felt fucking crazy. No one else spoke about not caring about their gender identity, not caring if someone called them a guy or a girl or something in between. I found labels like Aporagender (“a gender identity that is neither masculine, feminine or inbetween the two but nonetheless involves a strong sense of gender; a term similar to maverique.” - https://en.pronouns.page/dictionary/terminology#aporagender) and genderfluid (“a gender that varies, or changes over time.” - https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Genderfluid) and bigender (“a gender identity which can be literally translated as 'two genders' or 'double gender'.” - https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Bigender) but none of them felt right, even if I liked their flags.

But then, out of frustration, I decided to google “what is it called when you don’t care about your gender” and gender apathetic popped up. And I read the description and I felt so… understood. I felt like, no matter how small the group was, I had finally found people who understood me and felt the way I did. And then, because I’m annoying and visual, I saw the flag… and I was just… feeling very… ehhh…

Like, the brown, purple/lavender/light blue, white, and gray on their own aren’t inherently bad, but something about it just felt bland and… nothing like the sense of relief I felt when discovering I wasn’t alone.

And then I clicked through onto the post about the meanings of each color and began to like it even less

But, I pushed forward, ignoring my dislike of the color arrangement and meanings behind them and sharing my newfound label/identity and flag with my friends. I finally felt like I had something I understood.

That is, until one night when I got bored. And I started searching for flag makers to see what was out there. I came across a Reddit post about a custom flag builder (https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/ooz3tb/custom_pride_flag_builder/) which lead me to Team Ultima’s custom pride flag maker: https://www.teamultima.org/flag/

Needless to say, as an artist and someone who’s nitpicky about colors and designs, I was stoked to find something that allowed so much creative control! After messing around with it for a bit, I made this:

Now, I know it’s not really that different from the current flag. But, to me, this feels a lot more balanced and cohesive. With the one by pridearchive, the “light blue,” which we all know is just lavender tbh, was the only color that had a bright saturation besides the white. Our eyes are naturally drawn to it and this does not allow our eyes to flow along the flag and take it all in. We kinda see the purple and get stuck there. Not only that, because we expect white to be in the middle of pride flags (as well as Im sure a lot of other color theory reasons that I’m not knowledgeable enough to know of or explain), the flag felt top heavy and uneven, with no equivalent saturated color along the bottom. The flag was lacking horizontal symmetry and I think/hope I did a good job of bringing it to this flag without it feeling like it’s too much or too little.

With all that being said here are my/the new and improved color meanings:

Brown - The natural human desire to find a sense of belonging and community, even if said community is formed around having a label for not caring about labels. It can also represent the warmth and security felt by having a label that represents how you truly feel.

Light Blue - A feeling of tranquility and peace towards one’s gender identity and expression

White - The limitless void of possibilities in which one can express themselves

Lavender - The mixture of all genders, feminine, masculine, neither, and everything in between

Gray - Lack of gender stagnation, not caring if one’s gender presentation is not as simple as black or white

Anyway, I’ve never posted anything like this before so… lemme know if I’m totally doing it wrong and all my color meanings are terrible and way off base or whatever. I’m gonna make a separate post of just the flag and the color meanings and whatever so that people don’t have to read all my dumb backstory to get to the actual “redesign” 💅💅
