As a direct descendant of Quasar’s Progress flag, the field is Baker’s Rainbow flag representing the LGBTQIA2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual / Pansexual / M-Spec, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Agender/Aromantic, Two-Spirit, and others) community in its wholeness, six horizontal bands, Red (representing Life), Orange (Healing), Yellow (Sunlight), Green (Nature), Blue (Serenity), and Violet (Spirit). Also from the Progress flag, is a banded chevron along the hoist representing groups within the community that have historically been particularly marginalized. This positioning of banded chevrons preserves Quasar’s original design intent of forward progress as well as the themes introduced in Magill’s original Disability Pride flag using bent bands to represent moving around and past barriers, the parallel orientation of these bands showing solidarity despite difference. The upper fly end contains a device depicting a windrose symbolizing the many kinds and dimensions of attraction and identity. The lower fly end contains a device depicting two feathers connected to a circle symbolizing the multitude of traditional indigenous native identities outside the constraints of colonial binaries.

Moving from the hoist outward, the central chevron incorporates Carpenter’s Intersex Pride flag in a manner identical to that of Vecchietti’s Intersex-inclusive Progress flag, with a Yellow field containing a Purple circle emblem representing unbroken wholeness, the colors chosen to avoid association with gender. Three bands follow, referencing Helms’ Transgender Pride flag, White (representing Transition and Non-binary or Undefined gender), Pink (Femininity), and Light Blue (Masculinity). Five further bands reference Magill’s Disability Pride flag, Red (representing Physical Disabilities), Yellow (Neurodiversity and Cognitive), White (Invisible and Undiagnosed), Blue (Mental Health), and Green (Sensory). Next is a Brown band, originating from Hikes’ Philadelphia flag and representing Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color. Last is a Black band, for remembrance of those who have suffered physical, emotional, religious, political, economic, and medical violence and discrimination.

For the windrose device, common color language was used for the points, referencing the attraction flags designed by Page, Jasper V, Standup, Samlin, CameronWhimsy, and Pastelmemer as well as the identity flags designed by Helms, Roxie, Poole, and Rowan. The left point is Magenta, representing attraction or identification with femininity, the right point Cyan for masculinity, and the upper point Yellow to represent the spaces outside of the binary. The lower point is Dark Lavender for identification with or attraction to a blend of two or more, or possibly all identities. The upper left point is Leaf Green to represent the aromantic spectrum and the lower right is Purple to represent the asexual spectrum. The upper right and lower left points are Black and White respectively to represent the fully present and absent poles of all forms of attraction and identification while the circle binding all of the points together is Grey to represent all of the spaces among and between. The two feather device representing the Two-Spirit Peoples is an exact copy of the device designed by 2SAnon and retains its original meaning, using a circle to signify oneness in one and two white feathers with black tips pointed downward to represent femininity and masculinity
