The Rainbow flag has gone through many incarnations and continues to evolve. Originally created by Gilbert Baker for the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade in 1978, the first rainbow flags had 8 colours representing the totality of human experience. Pink for Sex. Red for Life. Orange for Healing. Yellow for Sunlight. Green for Nature. Turquoise for Magic. Blue for Serenity. Purple for Spirit.

After the assassination of Harvey Milk that year, demand for the flags skyrocketed, and the pink stripe was dropped in order to use existing seven colour rainbow fabrics.

In 1979, the flag was modified again. Aiming to decorate the street lamps along the parade route with hundreds of rainbow banners, Baker decided to split the motif in two with an even number of stripes flanking each lamp pole. To achieve this effect, he dropped the turquoise stripe that had been used in the seven-stripe flag. The result was the six-stripe version of the flag that would become the standard for future production—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

In June 2018, designer Daniel Quasar released a redesign called the Progress Flag to bring focus on inclusion and progress within the community. While retaining the common six-stripe rainbow design as a base, the "Progress" variation adds a chevron along the hoist that features black, brown, light blue, pink, and white stripes to bring those communities (marginalized people of color, trans people, and those living with HIV/AIDS and those who have been lost) to the forefront. The arrow points to the right to show forward movement, while being along the left edge shows that progress still needs to be made.

In 2021, Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK redesigned the Progress Pride Flag to incorporate the intersex flag. This design added a yellow triangle with a purple circle in it to the chevron of the Progress Pride flag.
