About Our Logo

The logo for the Office of Gender and Sexuality Programs at Lafayette College encompasses various symbols and colors that are representative of all gender and sexual groups:

 

 

 – bisexuality

 

 – homosexuality (lesbian)

 

 – homosexuality (gay)

 

  – heterosexuality

 

 – male

 

 – female

 

 – transgender

 

 – all-gender

 

 

While many individuals recognize the rainbow flag as an international symbol of LGBT rights and support, a little known fact is that the original rainbow flag, first designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, had eight total colors, each representing something different. We pay homage to this original color arrangement in our logo by including all eight original colors.
