Credits

All flags were (re)created in SVG by myself. The one exception is the polyamory flag; which was sourced from Wikipedia.

Some notes on flags:

  • All rainbow flags include the black and brown stripes; no I won’t change that
  • We use the “sunset” lesbian flag as designed by Emily Gwen because trans rights are human rights and fuck transphobia
  • Sapphic is based on Maya Kern’s revision of Lydia’s design

Sub-sets

These sets don’t include cats but are all pride themed!

  • Fire; 19 pride inspired fire emoji!
  • Flag; 19 pride flag emoji
  • Heart; 19 pride flag heart emoji
  • 100

Structure of project

  • /Fire is where you’ll find the pride fire emoji set

  • /Flags is where you’ll find the SVG-files used to make the emoji

  • /PNG contains the exported PNG-files (128px)

  • /SVG contains exported SVG-files

  • Queer Cats.fig you can open this in Figma

  • Deprecated: Queer Cats.sketch you can open this in Sketch

If you don’t have access to Figma, you can also open the source materials in any other SVG editor.

Source materials

In the SVG folder you’ll find a file named Queer Cat.svg this is the main body and face of the emoji. You can use the group with an ID of “Body” as a mask for any flag (or other image you want to put on a cat’s face). The file hasn’t been optimised—all the information needed to create folders/layers in an editor should be there.

Optimisation

All SVG files should be optimised with SVGOMG and manually checked for readability.
