I'm not necessarily in love with the swish people either. I just know that the hand circle is not what I'm looking for.
It would be cool if you could find a way to communicate that the connections will be beneficial/impacting. Or in otherwords - you will make connections that lead you to a good place - or - these connections really care about you.
But ultimately I'm really looking for somethings that you don't forget. There are a lot of churches and programs called "Crossroads..." and I would like our branding to make us stand out.
