theOJG by DAVe

Dave Avila of The Jen and Dave Show and The Jaded Visalian is one of my DOFs (Dear Online Friends). He and I sometimes disagree about cussing, crude jokes and what it means to be “real” but I still count him as someone I can shoot an email to and say, “Hey, I need some prayer right now. Could you go before the throne for me?”

Dave sent me this DM last week via Twitter:

I was curious. He emailed me the above logo and I was very pleased to see it. It incorporates O, J and G into my face. I thought it was very creative. I also thought, “Is my nose really that big?”

If you don’t know, OJG stands for Original Jesus Geek. I needed a way to stand out from other Jesus Geeks out there and since AFAIK I’m the first person to start podcasting and use the title “Jesus Geek” I decided to go with theOJG. There is of course, The Jesus Geeks Podcast which you should be listening to. Also, there’s the Jesus Geeks Ning site which is not associated with the podcast and there’s Jesus GEEK Multimedia Ministries where GEEK stands for Growing Everyday in Everlasting Knowledge.

I needed a way to stand out from the crowd so I chose to start referring to myself as theOJG. It seems to have stuck and I’ll continue to use the name until it’s time to re-brand (again).

Dave did a great job incorporating the initials into this logo and I really like it. Thanks, Dave! You are The Best!
