You bet your ass that both the shape of and the orientation of the "Crescent of Embrace" was intentional. The alignment (which matches neither the flight path nor any cardinal direction) matches the required "prayer" angle to Mecca as exactly as the shape matches the Islamokazi crescent.
I MUCH prefer your design.
However that red crecent came about, IMHO, it is unacceptable and intolerable.
If I could come up with something like this...imagine what a true, all-American, professional could do? That's what I would like to see.
