Why are there two stars each on two sides of the 2006 Brass Rat?
The stars that appear on the ring are a part of the “Starry Night” scene that we chose to represent. They in no way represent the affiliation of any members of the Ring Committee. The stars were not specifically mentioned during Premiere because they are purely aesthetic and have no symbolic meaning. We thought the mention that we included a “Starry Night” motif in the sky for two of the sides would be enough. In fact, they were a suggestion from the company artist who drew the ring design, not a suggestion from a committee member. Finally, be aware that every motion that was made during the design process required more than a 2/3 vote to be passed, which ensured that the committee never voted favorably on a symbol which represented only a small part of the group.
