Thanks to the 3D effect it appears much more modern and updated. The darker blue may just be pragmatic in that regard - if you tried to add the 3D effect to the lighter blue the thing could produce some serious eyestrain, especially if it was a large image on a webpage.<br /><br />With the stars you could just as easily say they're tilted and rotated to the left. While the policies Bush supported were quite conservative, remember that back in 2000 he was still trying to seize the middle with the "compassionate conservative" moniker. But I don't think that much thought went into it - focus group creations are based on emotional appeal, not anything logical.<br /><br />Now, if that's the case it is still an interesting question from a magical point of view why people emotionally prefer the inverted star to the upright one.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-34677300536841406652011-08-18T08:59:35.287-05:002011-08-18T08:59:35.287-05:00Also the new (post 2000) Republican symbol is dark...Also the new (post 2000) Republican symbol is darker in color. More serious and better matching the colors of the flag. (To appear more American?) You will also note that it is rendered in 3-D. It no longer sits on the paper, it jumps out at you and extends into your world. Not to mention make for a much better Web used symbol to appeal to the younger Generation. Maybe the the stars aren't inverted at all just tilted and rotated toward the Right? Hmmm...Interesting at the least!Natura Spiritushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326370384487579754noreply@blogger.com
