16. I'm not a graphic artist, by any means

but it seems to me that the curves on the front and back of the upper part of the elephant might be dictating the placement of the outside two stars (each of the outer three points is somewhat equidistant from the line of the curve), with the center star simply oriented the same way for continuity.

People see what they want to see. I remember the Amway people putting out the nonsense that the Proctor and Gamble logo had thirteen stars because it was a Satanist company. Turns out, it is in respect of the original thirteen colonies which became the first states.

I had an opportunity at game night last night to tell about my fourth grade teacher telling us about a diabolical Communist plot to defile JFK (this was in about 1965) by putting a hammer and sickle on the thin neckline of the bust of JFK on the half-dollar coin. My nine-year-old mind regarded this as truth until I found the actual answer, the initials of the coin's designer, Gilroy Roberts, were used in a stylized way that caused some people wanted to see the sign of the Communist party, especially when they were fed nonsense.

If the worst thing about the GOP were their logo, we wouldn't have half the problems that we do in this country.
