The top star peak is a large upper-case letter A. Focus on the star concept as a whole, and you will see that it states A KANSAS CITY STAR. Not just KANSAS CITY STAR. On the bottom left west star peak, the Kansas City, Kansas side you will see the image of a white outlined sunflower because Kansas is the sunflower state. Located below the sunflower image you will see the white outlined nick name "SUNFLOWER STATE" in quotation marks. Located under the state nickname you will see a white outline of the year 1861 which is the birth year of the state of Kansas. Also, you will see the white outlined city name, Kansas City, Kansas with a red comma along the interior white outline of the bottom left west star peak. And there are a yellow and gold outlined number 34th. The number 34th acknowledges the fact of Kansas admission to the United States as the 34th state on January 29th, 1861.

On the bottom right east star peak, the Kansas City, Missouri side, you will see the image of a white and blue skeptical emoji and the nickname "SHOW-ME STATE" in quotations. Because Missouri is the show-me state. The nickname represents the character of its residents as practical, skeptical, and grounded. They require proof or evidence.

And you will see a red and white outline of the number 24th. The number 24th acknowledges the fact that Missouri became the 24th state admitted to the union on August 10, 1821. And if you don't believe what I am stating, then the Missouri state flag will show you the evidence! All three of the state colors red, white and blue have been incorporated into this unique star concept.

Located at the bottom exterior of this unique star concept is the white outlined poetic quote stating, "I MAY TRAVEL NEAR AND FAR BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE A KANSAS CITY STAR"

The final feature that highlights this star concept is that when the lights are turned off all of the white letters, numbers and images glow in the dark! Yes, A KANSAS CITY STAR wouldn't be a standout star if we didn't glow wherever we go.

KANSAS CITY STARS

And oh, how we shimmer, sparkle and twinkle with might

and God is blessing us to glow and shoot to higher heights

If we could Space Shuttle to Venus or Mars,

we would still stand out amongst Gods billions of stars

How do we know this and how can this be?

It's because when we shimmer sparkle and twinkle,

the people shout KC!

So, as the people look out to Gods universe filled with

galaxies of stars, they will forever see us KANSAS

CITY STARS.
