Found the graphic at the Utah State University (of all places!) group Allies on Campus.

Enjoy! (or don't) :toast:

1. Is it...saying allies are radioactive?

I'm not trying to be rude or snarky. The design message is confusing me.

2. From the USU website:

The Ally Sticker, which was designed by Lew Grant, a USU student, incorporates elements of the following widely recognized GLBT symbols:

Rainbow Flag : The flag was originally designed by San Francisco artist, Gilbert Baker, in 1978 and was intended to be a symbol of gay and lesbian pride. It was inspired by the Flag of the Races which had five stripes, each one representing the colors of human kind. The six colors of the flag – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple – represent the diversity and unity within the GLBT movement. The widespread use of the flag is due less to any official recognition of it as a symbol and more to its adoption by members of the GLBT community.

Pink Triangle : An inverted pink triangle was a Nazi symbol used to identify homosexuals during the Holocaust. The symbol was adopted by gays and lesbian activists to remember those who were tortured and killed in Nazi concentration camps.

Yellow Equal Sign on a Blue Square: This is the logo for the Human Rights Campaign, an organization working to secure equal rights for GLBT individuals. Information on this organization is available at http://www.hrc.org.

Some GLBT students have stated that their environment can often feel quite dangerous. Lew placed the symbols above on a safety/bomb shelter sign hoping that the Allies on Campus logo would come to represent a stable and safe place for GLBT individuals to turn.

5. Ah! I see. I didn't see it as a shelter sign; I saw it as a warning.

I like the explanation, but it's always a pain when design needs an explanation. Now that I understand it, however, I do like it.

3. Not sure why it is based off of the symbol for a fallout shelter...

Sorry, but I don't get it.

4. See above.
