Howdy - you are well on your way to winning! My concern now is to adjust the logo slightly further so that everyone is unanimously agreed it is the best choice - we will be presenting it to Church as a whole shortly.
SO here is the feedback for a few more alternatives:
The dark background design is superb because of the way the vine and the cross are well pronounced.
This doesn't seem to be as clear in the white background design - which is the one we will need the most on website PPT and letterhead etc. If I had to choose just one right now it would be a dark background version of the "D" trellis. But we are hoping we can both versions of the final design - so we can alternate when we need to, and for variety in the long-term.
1/ We are not convinced regarding the font chosen so far for the "D" and Dalkeith. Perhaps a simpler sans-serif font would give the design a slightly more modern feel? (it's hard to know until we see it unfortunately) if you could experiment with that we would like to see another option.
2/ Perhaps an alternative without the full trellis and just the CROSS? or at least trying to emphasise the cross more as you have done well in the dark background version - it jumps out more.
3/ We prefer Teres' (designer) version of "Disciples Making Disciples" it seems a bit more organic - if that isn't too hard please give that a go.
4/ I appreciate your attempt to add color (hearts are not appreciated by the team it seems!) I thought perhaps using the same color for the cross and the "Disciples Making Disciples" might be a good alternative to take back to them.
5/ IF you have time only: one team member would like to see the current circle design without the circle and just the cross with the vine growing up (if easy and have time that would be interesting to see the difference).
REALLY GREAT WORK! Thankyou.
We are doing our best to be decisive as a committee.
Hope our extra requests don't drive you crazy - but would help us settle on the final design as a whole team.
Much appreciated
Steve
