Briefly noted. Passed on by Evan Randall Smith on 6/6 on Facebook, this Liz Climo celebration of Pride month, featuring her congenial cartoon animals:

(#1) The color sequence — white, pink, light blue; brown, black; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple — reproduces the bands of  the Progress Pride flag

(There’s a Page on this blog on my postings about Climo’s work.)

The Progress Pride flag. From Wikipedia:

(#2) Composed of elements from three flags

On June 2018, designer Daniel Quasar released a redesign incorporating elements from both the Philadelphia flag [brown and black bands for people of color] and trans pride flag [white, pink, and light blue bands] to bring focus on inclusion and progress within the community. The flag design spread quickly as the Progress Pride Flag on social media, prompting worldwide coverage in news outlets. While retaining the common six-stripe rainbow design as a base, the “Progress” variation adds a chevron along the hoist that features black, brown, light blue, pink, and white stripes to bring those communities (marginalized people of color, trans people, and those living with HIV/AIDS and those who have been lost) to the forefront; “the arrow points to the right to show forward movement, while being along the left edge shows that progress still needs to be made.”
