Quasar has reshaped the form of this flag into a chevron in his updated design. The transgender flag, designed by Monica Helms in 1999, consists of one horizontal white stripe, surrounded by two horizontal pink stripes and two light blue stripes. Quasar says the black and brown stripes represent those living with AIDS, and those no longer living. The black and brown stripes represent marginalized LGBT communities of color, along with the colors pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag. The Progress Pride Flag adds five arrow-shaped lines to the six-coloured Rainbow Flag, which is widely recognized as the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. The design celebrates Graphic designer Daniel Quasar who added a five-coloured chevron to the LGBT Rainbow Flag to place a greater emphasis on “inclusion and progression”. He was joined by his daughter Gillian as they worked in the heat of summer. The West Hartford Art League selected West Hartford artist Brian Colbath to paint the crosswalk on Saturday, June 20, 2020.
