Stars Which Are Not Six-Pointed

We’ve seen some analysis of the successful use of the six-pointed star in Chicago Aldermanic Web sites. No let’s take a closer look at the less successful attempts.

Here are screenshots of every Aldermanic candidate with star imagery on their Web site that is *not* the disctinctive 6-pointed star of the Chicago flag.

These are further broken down into four sub-categories:

Those who, with just a little more design effort, could’ve pulled off a six-pointed star, but didn’t try. I do not know why.

Those who, in my amateur estimation, tried to do the Chicago star, and simply failed. These are designs where there are four stars lined up in a facsimile of the flag stars or are individual stars that could easily have been true to the points.

Those with the least gross transgressions– the patriots who, by dint of Web template or true emotion, simply chose to appropriate the star of our national flag as a symbol for their municipal campaign.

Lastly, I call out a special group– those sitting alderman– the incumbents who really should know better. Star, star, star, and not a Chicago one among them.
