To me it looks like a Photoshop design of the full moon after the visit of an Israeli astronaut.

Jewish Barbie
Golden Jewish Star on the necklace of Barbie. From filmmaker Tiffany Shlain short film titled The Tribe .
I like the cute design of the logo of the film where the dot above the letter I is in the shape of a Star of David. Imagine that in Hebrew all the dots that stand for vowels ( Chirik, Sheva, Tzere) will be in this shape...
