This is a straight forward simple approach using materials obtained by the byu identity site. For clarification, I am very familiar with the symbology of the LDS Church. ( I was baptized into the Church in 2000) Do you want me to utilize this knowledge in future rendering or are you looking for a secular professional oriented look.
I love the clean look. #s 6 and 7 resonate better than # 10, however.
The first two fit well with other BYU-approved logos. Although our target audience is primarily LDS, we are well known in the academic community, which is largely non-LDS. So please don't feel like you need to stick with the typical symbolism of the LDS Church. In fact, a dose of secular professionalism might be a breath of fresh air. You have piqued my interest. Would you mind exploring further?
Thanks for your questions. I appreciate your insight.
