The asexual pride flag has four equal horizontal stripes: black for asexuality, gray for gray-asexuality and demisexuality, white for non-asexual partners and allies, and purple for community. It was created in 2010 through a community vote organized on the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) and other hubs, with the winning design submitted by a member known as "standup." Its colors trace back to the older AVEN triangle symbol. Built to sit visually alongside other horizontal-stripe pride flags, it quickly became the widely recognized emblem of ace identity and visibility. Because the design is simple geometry, the image itself is treated as public domain.
