Sexuality & Gender (sb1)

One of the designs for the digital screens is going to be based upon London's acceptance and celebration of different genders and sexuality's.
In order to make a more informed piece of design i'm going to carry out some research in to different bits of information surrounding sexuality and gender in order to generate some design ideas. 

According to the Daily Mail up to one million people gathered in London (2017) to attend the annual Pride parade.
An estimated 26,500 people are taking part in the festivities, which promote rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) community.
London's annual march is the biggest Pride celebration in the UK and is now in its 45th year. This year's celebration marks 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalized in England and Wales.

-26,500 attended pride in 2017 
-50 years since decriminalization 
-4 years since gay marriage was legalised  

I found this online in which the use of symbols represent the different sexualities and genders. I think it would be interesting to do something involving these symbols, but in a more visually pleasing way and to present them in a way which communicates London as a city which is 'quirky and charming' (Mayor of london brief pack). 

Incorporating the gay pride rainbow flag might be something to consider within the design, however i feel that there are more visually interesting ways to do this, rather than going with the rainbow colour pallet.
