#10 - Some suggestions: 1) no people, 2) cord looks a little too snake-like, needs to be more flowing, 3) verse needs to be one continuous line - doesn't have to be straight
#12 Like the colors and changes. Here's some additional thoughts: 1) struggling with the "cord" - should be some intertwining as opposed to simply intersecting, also its a bit too thin ... go for a new look regarding the cord and it's placement ... 2) "3 Strands" maybe in a more contemporary font ... not extreme, just more than the traditional look it currently has. We like that it's a different font from "marriage ministry". Thanks.
Ref #13 The strands are doubled in width, go nearly the length of the logo, are a bit more intertwined and fluid. On the font I may have gone too far but I liked the "3" in that font so I thought you should see it (fonts are easy to change most of the time anyway). Also background highlighting to match your church colors.
#17 - Comments: 1) make the design a little more compact - bring the verse up under "marriage ministry", decreasing the point size and maybe using a script font (no color on the verse), the cord can also be shorter, 2) like the font on #12 better for main heading than #13 and 17
I was designing #22 while you where writing the above comments so not much of the changes above where made. However did make the changes per you new limit from the church. Please let me know if I fall within those limits. Thank You
#40 Caught our eye. Here's a couple of thoughts: 1) Have the blue strand be the vertical one at the top; 2) the verse should be more subtle ... "3 Strands" should be the most noticeable, then "marriage ministry," then the verse.
OK #41 has the colors changed and I lightened the verse so it does not stand out, but I am going to load another up later (maybe by the time you read this) that will change the verse font and get it back on one line! Great feedback by the way...
#51 Like how you made the strands stand out more with the back coloring. Try flipping the upper/lower case around ... i.e. 3 strands ... MARRIAGE MINISTRY and try a different script for the verse. We've become partial to the script in #28
#52 has the flipped upper/lower case around " ... i.e. 3 strands ... MARRIAGE MINISTRY" And another script to look at in verse. Remember I really can't use #28 s exact same script... it would not be right but I can come close! Edit: I just noticed the verse darkened up it was a medium gray but changed on me when I changed the font, so just remember I can lighten the verse up.
#55 & #56 have font changes to the verse also 56 has a Cap "S" in strands with another font. I haven't found an exact match for the font of "love, grow, serve"....
