Overview

In 2017, Gilbert Baker, the creator of the Rainbow Flag as a symbol for the gay community, passed away. To honour his memory, the Ogilvy New York team partnered with NewFest and NYC Pride to create a font inspired by the design language of the Rainbow Flag. The LGBTQ community can now raise the flag with every letter they type and poster they create.
