Q: What is the significance of the colors in the Roll for Inclusion Logo?

A: The colors were selected to represent the disability pride flag created in 2019, by writer Ann Magill. Each color stripe has a meaning:

  • Red - physical disabilities

  • Gold - neurodiversity

  • White - invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed

  • Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression

  • Green - for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities

The faded black background mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse. The diagonal band cuts across the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from normate society, also representing light and creativity cutting through the darkness.
