The Red Star??
For all you shoppers and beer drinkers, when did Macy's Department Store and Heineken Beer start using a red star in their logo? I'd never noticed this until just recently. Looks kinda like the Chinese star.

Re: The Red Star??
From Wikipedia.
Established in New York City in 1858, from the very beginning, Macy's logo has included a star in one form or another, which comes from a tattoo that Macy got as a teenager when he worked on a Nantucket whaling ship, the Emily Morgan.
Macy's started using the current logo in 2006. To see other Macy's logos, used since 1948, go here -- http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Macy's
And Heineken? At least since 1948 and maybe before that. (Picture pulled from the Heineken web site.)

Re: The Red Star??
Thanks Jerry. I had never noticed the red star before seeing the latest TV commercials.
