A winged unicorn (or flying unicorn) is a fictional horse with wings like Pegasus and the horn of a unicorn. This creature has no specific name.

Winged unicorns have been depicted in art. Ancient Achaemenid Assyrian seals depict winged unicorns and winged bulls as representing evil, but winged unicorns can also represent light.

Grapevine officials said the winged unicorn symbolizes action, dreams and wishes that come true.

The unicorn is positioned in the stance of taking off and children from area special needs programs inscribed their names on its back.
