... Like you I'd also prefer to stay on topic here. So what is your opinion about the parallels in the patterns?
I think the observation about the detailed nick in the "star" shape is a good one—it's not a random blip of the pen, it's obviously intentional.
I'm not convinced it was inspired by a round fan (and there are other items besides fans that might have been an influence) but if it was, it's more likely the kind that folds end over end rather than one that has "veins" in one direction interleaved with ones in the other direction (somewhat like a peacock's tail). The first has triangular points (like the VMS imagery), the second has a more even rounder profile. I like seeing the example though, for its sheer aesthetic appeal.
