2024 BiCONIC Theme
The theme of “Beacon of Bi+ Love” came about upon discovering the SF Pride Theme, “Beacon of Love,” attached to the Pink Triangle installation on Twin Peaks. We started there and worked with the idea of Twin Peaks, Sutro Tower, and the Pink Triangle, but we went in a different direction. We added the blue and lavender overlap like the biangles and created a graphic that still had the spirit of the original design.
