  • The Aylesbury Community Pride logo features arrows in multiple colors, a reference to Aylesbury town’s coat of arms and motto “semper prorsum.” Translated to the general meaning of “always forward”, this phrase serves as the organization's foundation of striving for progress in the LGBTQ+ community.
