I was so so happy to be able to design this for Northern Pride. As a mini pride artist I had worked alongside Northern Pride doing workshops at Ouseburn Family Festival with Curious Arts, and was over the moon when they asked me to make this design for them. I created multiple assets too for an animation focused on how gay rights have changed over the years too, which was quite emotional!
The main design encompasses The Tyne Bridge, with mirrored designs behind it representing bridges between cultures. The two magpies flying up, the symbols of Newcastle. With Alex, the rainbow angel of the north in the centre symbolising Northern Pride in the centre. Inspired by Victorian and Vintage Design around the Miners who are very important in the history of the North of England.
If you haven’t already I would highly recommend following them on social media to see what events they have planned, just go to : https://www.northern-pride.com
