Summary

Description
English: The Statue of Liberty is the official symbol of the Libertarian Party, but the porcupine is used to represent libertarianism because it is a defensive animal that doesn't harm anyone who leaves it alone. For this reason, many libertarian groups and publications, including the Free State Project, use the porcupine for a mascot. The libertarian porcupine was originally designed by Kevin Breen in 2005-2006 mimics the Republican Elephant and Democratic Donkey. It has since been used to represent many local libertarian groups, and it has been included on major libertarian publications.

English: This was styled after the libertarian porcupine originally designed by Kevin Breen in 2005-2006 (copyright status uncertain--but believed to be free use). A few versions by unknown persons are floating around; unfortunately none (including the original) are readily available in vector formats, and all have irregular features such as non-standard stars, rough lines, etc. This version was completely redrawn in vector to smooth-out the irregularities in the previous incarnations, using the absolute minimum required nodes. If Kevin Breen, or the national party have desire to take-down this version please drop me a note. My version is in the public domain.

HaverkampAs the author of ALL Wikimedia versions of this artwork, I am restoring the modern rendering (with the perkier nose). The older Kevin Breen version does not exist on Wikipedia at all, is a more primitive style that these, and caries a copyright notice.
