[edit] "A similar design could be used for 52 stars"??
Could someone explain how this would work or look? If my math is right, such a 52-star flag would have "rings" of 1, 9, 17, and 25 stars. (1 + 9 + 17 + 25 == 52.) Would this really look "good"? How would the ring of 9 and the ring of 17 "line up"?
[edit] Impossible to arrange 53 stars symmetrically?
What about the following (8+7+8+7+8+7+8), which is as symmetric as the current flag?
