Pride Palace’s best selling flag: the LGBTQ+ pride flag.
#THE OLD GAY FLAG WINDOWS 8#
*Disclaimer: The author recently bought a new laptop that runs on Windows 8 and he really doesn’t like it. Here are some of the different lesbian flags and their meanings: 1) LGBTQ+ Flag. But that's not the reason this carrd was made. This is a question that has been floating all around the internet ever since the Gay Man flag, pictured above, became popular. Or, if you want to operate on their logic, they realised that Windows 8 sucked a bag of dicks and wanted a logo that represented the huge step backwards they’d taken. THE OCEAN/GAY/VINCIAN FLAG WAS CREATED BY GAYMANFLAGBLOG ON TUMBLR, NOT BY THE CARRD'S PREVIOUS OWNER. You know, even though it doesn’t make sense at all when you realise what the logo is supposed to represent, a fucking window! It wasn’t until a graphic designer sat down with a representative and straight up asked them why they used a flag that Microsoft decided to change their logo to something more simple. If your windows looks like this, you should probably seek help.

As the machines running on later versions of Windows became increasingly more powerful, the logo used to represent them similarly became more and more complex. The only reason the logo went from being a simple collection of squares to a garish pixellated flag that looked like a reject from a Gay Pride parade was because Microsoft wanted to show off all the fancy new things their new line of computers could render. Well, the answer, according to Microsoft is that the logo “ makes sense in the context in which it was created“, which is corporate doublespeak for “we thought it looked cool and didn’t think anyone would notice.”

We’re not being facetious here, as detailed in the image macro above, literally the first question a professional graphic designer asked Microsoft upon being asked to help redesign their logo was “Why are you a flag?”, much the chagrin of a flustered Microsoft representative.
#THE OLD GAY FLAG SERIES#
'My understanding is he was putting together a series of. a 21-year-old New Englandbased artist from Los Angeles, is also. What makes this weirder is that the original Windows logo and indeed the one they use now is flat, you know, like a window. Created in 1999 by Sean Campbell, a cisgender gay man, the Labrys Lesbian Pride Flag is commonly referred to as the oldest lesbian flag. Since its first flight at 1978’s Gay Freedom Day Parade in San Francisco, the rainbow flag has evolved multiple times. (This was before the pink triangle was popularly used as a symbol of pride.

Gay men should not be represented by a flag that celebrates masculinity, in direct contrast to femininity. The problem is that the message is wrong. It makes sense, and communicates a clear message. We don’t care if Microsoft say that it’s still supposed to be a window, windows don’t bend like that unless they’re in a hurricane or made by Apple. The first Rainbow Flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco artist, who created the flag in response to a local activist's call for the need of a community symbol. Anyway, the blue-striped flag takes that idea, and replaces the femme feminine pink colors with masculine shades of blue. As you can see in the image above, older versions of the Windows logo clearly show a waving flag.
