    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering if anyone knew the difference in meaning between the blue and yellow equals sign and the red and pink equals sign.

    Thanks.

    The blue one is the logo of HRC (and the original one) and was reworked into the red one to show support for same-sex marriage in the battle against DOMA.

    So blue is for marriage equality in general, but red is specifically for fighting against DOMA?

    Not really. It's the logo for the advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. It's not a symbol of marriage equality in general, but of a specific group that's fighting for it.

    The red one is for marriage equality.
    The blue and yellow one is the main HRC logo.

    Both are HRC logos, but the red one is for marriage.
