Not sure why this guy gets a design credit for adding two stars, but interesting story.

Heft designed the current Us flag in 1958 while living with his grandparents. He was 17 years old at the time and did the flag design as a high school class project in which he got a 'B-'. He unstitched the blue field from a family 48-star flag, sewed in a new field, and used iron-on white fabric to add 100 hand-cut stars, 50 on each side of the blue canton.
When Alaska and Hawaii were being considered for statehood, more than 1,500 designs were spontaneously submitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower by Americans. Although some of them were 49-star versions, the vast majority were 50-star proposals. At least three, and probably more, of these designs were identical to Heft's adopted design of the 50-star flag. Archived in the Eisenhower Presidential Center in Abilene, Kansas, only a small fraction of the proposed designs have ever been published.

The german geometric abstract painter Günter Fruhtrunk designed the now iconic plastic bag for discount supermarket Aldi. At the time he was teaching and he told his students that he had »sinned«. I actually do like his works (by his contemporaries he was labled as formalistic and sterile).

Nice post. Loved it. You have to add a post related to fashion or shoes. As I have my own store of shoes and love these kind of posts.
