incorporating the existing logo - would you prefer a standalone or a modification of the existing logo? feedback is always welcome. i attend a C&MA church myself, studying to be ordained. i wish you the best in the contest!
a completely different take, showing integration and cooperation as the three are joined in the center to be one. still identifies with the color scheme and bold feel of the church logo, but has a different appearance.
#18 - Can you place the text to the right of the cross so the logo is not as tall and use a script font for the verse. It's cool to have the cord overlapping a small portion of text.
