The Porcupine has been a symbol used by Libertarians since at least the 1970s.

An icon was designed by Kevin Breen in March 2006 and inspired by the logo of the Free State Project.[1]

Origins

The porcupine symbol has been around since at least the 1970s.

In 1978, the Fairbanks Libertarian Party had a float in a local parade in which they used a Libertarian porcupine while the local Democratic Party and Republican Party had a donkey and an elephant, respectively.[2]

In March 1983, the Montana LP's publication was called the Porcupine.[3] In a December 1987 article in the Arkansas Gazette, the porcupine was referred to as the Libertarian Party's mascot.[4]
