Designer Paul Murdoch said he is "somewhat optimistic" that the spirit of the design could be maintained.
"It's a disappointment there is a misinterpretation and a simplistic distortion of this, but if that is a public concern, then that is something we will look to resolve in a way that keeps the essential qualities," Murdoch, 48, of Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview.
The New York Sun noted earlier that the original design didn't even have any symbols of America included - no flags, no patriotic symbols, nothing.
Here's hoping that Murdoch figures this out.
