The AVEN Triangle is the symbol of AVEN and is also widely regarded as the symbol of Asexuality.

The top line represents the Kinsey scale, the left being homosexual, the right being heterosexual and the third dimension, leading to the bottom point of the triangle, represents sexual attraction. Asexuals lie in the bottom regions of the triangle, which is why you might see the triangle two-toned, having only the bottom corner black. AVEN chooses to display it as a gradient, which allows room for demisexuals and hyposexuals. It signifies that there really is no clear cut black-and-white; it is a continuum.
