Better asthetics--More honest

On a jog through Bedford last week I saw signs for Obama that looked like this.

There are two reasons to like this design more than the more common one with the swooshie thing in the O.

1. The red star is better looking.

2. The red star traditionally represents Communism, so it might well turn out to be a more honest sign. Which is good. Can't say we weren't warned and all.
