History of the Butterfly as a Symbol for Turner Syndrome

 

Today, the butterfly is recognized around the world as the symbol for Turner syndrome. We even refer to ourselves as butterflies, butterfly sisters, and golden butterflies. Many people ask how this came to be.

In 2010, the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States decided to update the organization’s logo. The previous logo was believed to feature a cell dividing. One of the things we often heard from the community was that the logo looked like a butterfly.

The four circles of the former logo have evolved into the wings of the iconic butterfly of the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States logo known around the world you see today. This evolution connects our past to our present. The butterfly is feminine yet strong like our members. Butterflies fly on their own, which is what we hope all of those with Turner syndrome will do with TSSUS forever providing support.

The Turner Syndrome Society of the United States is proud to have created the connection between the butterfly and Turner syndrome so well known today.
