The conceptual modification of national flags recuring in graphic design is understood to be a quite novel approach. In 1960, Earthday organiser replaced the American stars with the ecology symbol; then Vietnam anti-war activists altered it with the peace sign.
Thereafter, Vancouver based anti-consumerist magazine Adbusters inserted corporate logos in place of the 51 flags and since then has been challenging advertising it perceives as harmful - by subverting it; such play with corporate identities to graph social issues has been very significant lately, among the design community and in Adbusters raison d'être in particular.
