Can you tell me whose logo this is, and where I can buy the exact pic?

I bought a box of twenty back in 2002 from Billy Cooper's store (I had a gig in Norfolk, VA at the time) thinking:

'I like these, so I don't want to run out of them...'

Well, I'm still using the first two out of the box! Those National thumb picks I used to use would snap across the 'bridge' all the time - these never have and I have great big fat thumbs!

Those are what I use too. The blue Herco's just don't feel substantial enough for my taste, and those Kelly "Speed" picks even less. I actually do wear these picks down to a sharp edge though, probably due to the funky angle I hold my double jointed thumb...that's when I replace them. They kind've remind me of the same effect that I get when I use those heavy Wegen Gypsy Jazz picks on 6 string. I like not feeling any flex at all after the pick hits the string! Of course your mileage may vary.

I gave one of these large extra heavy Golden Gate picks to my friend Dave "DB" Berzansky quite awhile ago, and even with his aggressive right hand attack, it looks like it hasn't been used at all. It's the only pick he uses.

Check out ProPiks.

All Metal Thumb Pick:

The nickel-silver construction of Metal Thumb Pick assures the same tone as your finger picks. No more tonal discrepancies between thumb and finger picks. A special spoon shaped tip produces a clear, non-metallic tone and more volume with less player effort. Available in three sizes: Large, Medium and Small.

Metal-Plastic Thumb Pick:

Equipped with a smooth-wearing plastic tip, the Metal-Plastic Thumb Pick has great tone, requires no break-in, and eliminates that annoying grinding sound ordinary plastic thumb picks are prone to make. Available in right-hand and left-hand models and in three sizes.
