Queer X Design: 50 Years of Signs, Symbols, Banners, Logos, and Graphic Art of LGBTQ

Organized by decade beginning with Pre-Liberation and then spanning the 1970s through the millennium, QUEER X DESIGN will be an empowering, uplifting, and colorful celebration of the hundreds of graphics-from shapes and symbols to flags and iconic posters-that have stood for the powerful and ever-evolving LGBTQ movement over the last five-plus decades. Included in the collection will be everything from Gilbert Baker’s original rainbow flag, ACT-UP’s Silence = Death poster, the AIDS quilt, and Keith Haring’s ＂Heritage of Pride＂ logo, as well as the original Lavender Menace t-shirt design, logos such as ＂The Pleasure Chest,＂ protest buttons such as ＂Anita Bryant Sucks Oranges,＂ and so much more. Sidebars throughout will cover important visual grouping such as a ＂Lexicon of Pride Flags,＂ explaining the now more than a dozen flags that represent segments of the community and the evolution of the pink triangle.
