Shalom all,

Several people who saw the video reports on TweetYourPrayers asked me about the shirt I was wearing. This is the best close-up photo I have from wearing it in Jerusalem: (click to enlarge)

Here’s a higher quality depiction of the logo:

Well, this nifty Kotel Team logo shows the famous blue jay associated with Twitter, carrying a prayer to the Western Wall. I like it, I like the ingenuity and how it aptly describes the service.

A few weeks ago I tweeted that I’m looking for someone to design a logo to this operation. Several people offered their help (thank you Chana and Emily for all your hard work!) and eventually this design was chosen.

The logo was designed by a nice talented (and patient) guy named Dave Stark. I had him working hard tweaking the design again and again, and he was always happy to help. After I have finished tormenting him with “some minor changes”, we got into getting to know each other better. Turns out that despite his obvious talent, Dave finds himself – like many other talented people in this economy – out of work.

Even though he didn’t ask for any credit or mentioning, I ceased the opportunity of explaining about the shirt to give him the proper thank you he deserves. So thank you Dave!

You can check out more of his work here and contact him here.
