The relatively simple, eye-catching design is a compilation of several images. First of all, the large black triangle and numerous small black triangles are symbols lesbians have reclaimed. During World War II, the Nazis used various triangles to identify concentration camp prisoners. The most "famous" of these symbols were the double yellow triangles to identify Jews and the pink triangle indentifying gay men. Less well known is the black triangle which was placed on asocials and lesbians. Now it stands as a symbol of our pride and resistance.

The large black triangle which encompasses the words, "Lesbian Rights Summit", creates a summit – a point for which to strive. While we will not be donning mountain climbing gear, we will nonetheless be seeking the high ground of understanding and wisdom.

The white circular piece symbolizes the sun and moon.  Rather than use a solid circle, Amy created the image as a path. We follow the footsteps of those lesbians who have paved our way with their courage and determination. We walk beside women who share their wisdom and love. We lead the way for the next generation. Our allies surround our efforts – metaphorically through history and literally with each embrace.

The background color, a beautiful jade, is ocean waved, summer night skies and rich forests.  It serves to brighten and, at the same time, ground our bold efforts as "out" lesbians. It is solid, gentle and fills the heart with fresh hope.
