🔗Hammer design is available here for free~
DESIGNER: Tony DeBlase with help from staff at Desmodus, Inc. and Drummer magazine
ORIGIN:
“For the 20th anniversary of Stonewall I felt that the time was right for the Leather men and women who have been participating in these same parades and events more and more visibly in recent years, to have a similar simple, elegant banner that would serve as a symbol of their own identity and interests.”
Presented May 28th, 1989 at International Mr. Leather as a first draft that was very quickly embraced and adapted for Leather regalia, fashion, tools and toys.
COLORS: Black, Royal Blue, White, Red
DESCRIPTION:
“The flag is composed of nine horizontal stripes of equal width. From the top and from the bottom, the stripes alternate black and royal blue. The central stripe is white. In the upper left quadrant of the flag is a large red heart.”
SYMBOLISM:
“I will leave it to the viewer to interpret the colors and symbols.” Many popular interpretations involve leather, blue denim, consent, solidarity and love.
REPRESENTS: The Leather culture and its intersections with BDSM/Kink/Fetish communities.
