#2, #3, #4 - I like this concept I think - green for growth (and our new web home page is green) - I think the blue and green might be better than green and purple - maybe just a tad less yellow in the colors?
Entries 5 and 6 are really nice...I like the landscape look of entry 6; however, I do not like the spaced out "church"...Is there a way to draw the focus on "central" rather than baptist or church? I'm not sure that I want to tag line included in the logo but I like how you incorporated it anyway - Perhaps if we didn't space out the church and found a balance for those 3 words (centra, baptist and church) and then brought the tag line down a bit so it's not such a bulky logo?
The other option is to leave the tag line out completely and use the landscape look without the spaced out church...
Could we also explore entry 5 a bit more by bringing the focus to central and have less emphasis on baptist and church? I love the mark that you've created and the darker green is much better...as well as the contrast between the green and the blue that you've used...all around I'm really loving where we're going I'd just like to see a few more options of 5 and 6...thank you for your hard work!!
for entry 5 and 6 again...Sorry to request so many options but could we explore an option a bit further without the green leaf on the side? I like that you wanted to jazz up the big "C" so I appreciate your effort; is there anything else we could put there to symbolize new, modern, young, fresh, etc. that isn't so much associated with going green? - I realize the leaf doesn't mean "going green" in this instance but I'm afraid that others in our area will see it that way and get confused, especially since the church hasn't been pushing that true "green" message in any of our actions...perhaps in the future but I don't want to imply a promise that we haven't made good on yet...I'm not sure what other little enhancement could work or what else you could do with the big C but I like where you're headed...thoughts?
I really like #10 - could we have #10 but landscape the way #11 is? I like the proportion of #10 with the layout of #11...Also, I love the little starburst thing you put inside the blue - any way to make that more prominent? I don't want the logo to get too busy so do what you think is best artistically....#11 is good it just seems a little too tight and squished for me. Let's try those edits - thank you!
