What about Ottoman and Mandate periods? Or earliar, if there was an emblem? edit
Please see discussion at Talk:Lions' Gate#Selim's lions as city emblem - really? When?. Jerome Murphy-O'Connor states that Selim's lions or Baybars' felines were used as city emblem, but w/o saying when. This article here also doesn't offer a source for the 1943 emblem story, nor its description. Arminden (talk) 15:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
People of the Book cite edit
"Koren also designed the familiar logo of the City of Jerusalem, in 1950-1951. When he was asked to do this by Mayor Gershon Agron shortly after the State of Israel was established, he thought it would be a good idea to have an internal competition among all of the graphic designers of the country who were members of the Association of Graphic artists, an organization Korngold founded, which is still inexistence. He was on the board of the Association at that time. The requirements of the municipality for the logo were that it must include the Western Wall, the lion and the olive branch. None of the proposals of the graphic artists was acceptable to the city's committee, except for Korngold's, so it was his symbol that we see today."
