The Shape of the Star

This is a partial list of potential possible designs of the Star of David (not including materials and colors):

1. Superimposing two triangles
2. Superimposing two triangles so that their lines are interwoven
3. Three superimposed congruent parallelograms or rhombuses
4. A regular hexagon with six equilateral triangles upon each of its edges
5. Three “butterflies”
6. “paper hat” mirrored along a horizontal axis
7. Six Alpha letters (Hexalpha) or six A letters
8. Made from 3 W's
9. Star of David leaning on "two legs" (two triangles instead of one)
10. Star of David made from curved lines instead of straight lines

What I learned from this partial list is:

That there is no uniform shape that everybody has to obey (like in the flag).

That there is no limit to the designers' imagination…
