Whitehall - divine jeweller's? or just a weird sign?


This is something that struck me at the mall recently, the logo for "Whitehall Co." jeweller's spells out the word "Allah" in Arabic. It's actually the "WJ" ... and since it needs a very thin capital J to work, and a fairly elaborate scrolling of the W, I can't help but wonder how much of a coincidence this is. Or if it's not a coincidence then why can't I get any further information on the subject? (the employees were oblivious to the matter). It's very eye-catching for anyone who reads Arabic. Could that be the reason? I tried doing a quick websearch, and all I could come up with was web pages talking about lawsuits, customer service complaints, and investment info. The link below is to the sole blog entry I found that includes a decent picture and seems to have noticed this as well.

If anyone knows more about this, or just thinks I'm seeing things, then let me know what you think in the comments.
