He wrote on his web page:
design rational: Our assignment was to update a 60-year-old typography and image with a contemporary symbol to signify the agency activities. The Star of David is combined with geometric shapes suggesting a mother caring for two children. Years later the organization went back to a type only logo, to avoid being recognized as too Jewish.

Costume

Photo of cool Star of David costume is courtesy of "JaxPhotography" who published it on Flickr. It can be a good idea for next Purim.

Custom Made Rasta Man Bag

Solomon's seal on a Custom Made Rasta Man Bag is courtesy of "kreativemindz"who made this bag, shot this photo, and published it on Flickr. I like creative minds, and I like the Jamaican colors. Rastafarians use the Solomon's seal because they believe that their leader, the late King of Ethiopia Haile Selassie I was descendant from King Solomon and King David.
