This is a partial list of potential possible designs of the Star of David (not including materials and colors):
- Superimposing two triangles
- Superimposing two triangles so that their lines are
interwoven
- Three superimposed congruent parallelograms or
rhombuses
- A regular hexagon with six equilateral triangles upon
each of its edges
- Three “butterflies”
- “paper hat” mirrored along a horizontal axis
- Six Alpha letters (Hexalpha) or six A letters
- Made from 3 W's
- Star of David leaning on "two legs" (two
triangles instead of one)
- 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…
