Read MoreDisability Pride Profile Frame
Facebook no longer allows users to publish their own profile pic frames. As a workaround, I'm sharing the Disability Pride frame I created. Make your own Disability Pride profile pic using any photo editing app that can layer images. Simply put a photo of yourself as the bottom layer and add the frame as the top layer. Then upload your framed profile picture on any social media platform. Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ This frame is derived from the new flag designed by Ann Magill and updated in 2021 to ensure accessibility. Each color of the Disability Pride Flag represents a different type of disability: physical (red), cognitive and intellectual (yellow), invisible and undiagnosed (white), psychosocial (blue), and sensory (green). The charcoal background symbolizes mourning and rage for the victims of ableist violence and abuse, and the colored bands are placed diagonally to convey persons with disabilities “cutting across” societal barriers.

I think a lot of us have seen the zigzag flag, however this design is inaccessible to a lot of people. Since October 2021 a new design has started being used, this one shares a lot of the same meanings but is more accessible - both flags were designed by Ann Magill Slide 2: A title states “the new flag”, the text is made from magazines cut outs. Below is an image labeled ”old flag”, which is a black background with vibrant and colourful zig-zags on. Next to this image is the “new flag”, which has a dark grey background, with simple diagnoal stripes on. The colours are not as vibrant as the other flag. Below these text states: “As of October 2021, the Disability Pride Flag has changed to the new design (right), with straight lines and desaturated colours. This is because when scrolling, the zigzag design looked like flashing, which could trigger seizures in some people. The colours were also an issue for people with migraines and sensory issues. The new flag is a more accessible version.”
