GLAAD is an American non-governmental media monitoring organization founded as a protest to coverage against LGBT people in the media. Before March 2013, the name "GLAAD" had been an acronym for "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation", but the acronym became the primary name due to its inclusiveness of bisexual and transgender issues.

In October 1999, GLAAD adopted a new logo created by Sven Seger of Enterprise IG (now Brand Union).
“For me, the logo tells a story. A story about change, about movement. A story in which difference evolves into something greater than the sum of its parts. The mark is an emotional one for me. And the color - bold and at the same time, warm. It's a mark that speaks not to what we do or how we do it but rather to the benefit of our work: change. And importantly, change with a recognition of the critical role of process.”

In April 2010, GLAAD adopted a new logo created by Lippincott.
- GLAAD LAUNCHES NEW VISUAL IDENTITY, DESIGNED BY LIPPINCOTT - GLAAD, April 15, 2010
“The new GLAAD identity is simple and clear; it plays off a recognized symbol for communication to represent the organization’s programmatic work to empower LGBT people and allies to share their stories, hold the media accountable for the words and images they present, and help grassroots organizations communicate effectively. By ensuring that the stories of LGBT people are heard through the media, GLAAD promotes understanding, increases acceptance, and advances equality. Four separate color versions of the logo are in use, in vibrant orange, green, blue, and purple. This flexibility showcases GLAAD’s range of work, from the GLAAD Media Awards to programmatic resources for media to report on LGBT issues. The colors express the diversity, energy and passion within GLAAD and the shape of the mark suggests movement, growth and momentum-all key ingredients in GLAAD’s work to build support for full equality through the media.”
