Your logo needs a haircut!

This is the new logo the Symbols Committee has decided to use for the upcoming 60 year celebrations for the State of Israel.

I am no professional graphic artist so I will not comment on the quality. To my untrained eye though it looks nice. Not perfect, mind you, but nice. Personally I think they ruined the word "Israel" in the middle as the spacing looks uneven because of the swirls.

but overall it looks like a nice and funky concept.

MK Yitzchak Cohen (of Shas) opposed the logo above because the kid looks like he needs a haircut. The committee laughed at his opposition and proceeded to approve it.

I find that funny. That's it. Back to your regular programming....

    i'm a little disappointed with you. you are always trying to show that secular israel and israelis still have a nitzot of yiddishkeit, and here you ignore that they separated the aleph and the lamed for obvious reasons.

    funny for a sephardi to say this. iirc, h. ovadia yosef writes at the beginning of his kitzur that while בלורית is not a sign of yirat shamayyim, it presents no problem of hatzitazah for tefillin. so what's the big deal if this kid has long hair?

  2. Personally, as I mentioned on my blog I though it was nice that they used one of the settler "Hilltop Children" as their model.
