The design, created by Brighton-based Foundry Works, incorporates the iconic rainbow colours with the world famous Brighton rock. Pride Brighton and Hove see the release of the 2012 logo as an exciting and important step in their decision to revive Pride in the city.

Trevor Edwards, director of Pride Brighton and Hove, said: "What can be more Brighton and Hove than a stick of rock? We want to re-establish Pride Brighton and Hove as part of the community and this is why we have decided to involve Brighton and Hove residents in the process of defining Pride 2012.  Furthermore, the new image and the competition are also a way of announcing that we are a new organisation, establishing us as a fresh and exciting addition to the excellent Pride community."


Pride 2012 will take place on Saturday, September 1, with the full Parade through Brighton, followed by a ticketed event in Preston Park. An announcement regarding ticket sales and price will be imminent and It is also hoped that a new website will be up and running in the next few weeks.
