The Gadsden Flag has been endlessly reinterpreted, modified, parodied, and generally played with, as the following examples show. The design violates a number of basic principles of good flag design, but its ability to capture the imagination and spur creativity shows it to have become a very effective flag nevertheless.

René Magritte knows a thing or two about the Treachery of Images.
Because libertarianism is all about caring for the environment?
That might be the most entertaining flag meme extant.
