Evangelical Movement of Wales / Mudiad Efengylaidd CymruLogo Design Contest

Hello,

Please check my #7, #8, #9, #10 logo proposals.
In my designs I changed a bit the main logo by making cross's corners rounded in order to look more inviting and friendly.
Secondly I placed icon inside a green rectangle, with also round corners, to portray the Welsh character of the church and also make design more modern (green and red make a nice color contrast).

The type font is clean and bold so you won't have issues when logo is in small size.

Your feedback is welcome!

Best Regards,
Pink

Thanks for your design. Is it possible to explore linking the writing with the logo - e.g. put it in the box.

Thank you very much for the feedback.
I'll submit some new designs according to your comment.

Best Regards
Pink

Here are my #11, #12, #24, #25 logo variations.
If you want any adjustments please let me know.

Thank you,
Pink

Thanks. could you incorporate the idea of life into it?

Interesting and challenging idea...
What's your opinion about using a seed that grows or a small leaf that suits well with green color?

I'm open to some ideas. Is it possible to bring the idea of growth and life into the logo by making it more 'organic'? Keeping the same parts - bible, cross, sun, but developing how they fit together.
The sun as part of the logo is another way to go. It was prominent in the logo back in the 50s as people liked the idea of a 'new dawn'. I like the idea of re-introducing it in some way.

#28 is an idea that combines the sun with the seed, that symbolizes life and the growing of faith.

Thank you,
Pink

#36, #37, #38 new designs with different sun and round shape.

#48, #49
New logo concept with artistic, handwritten style.

Thank you,
Pink

Thanks for the latest logos. I like the style of them. My worry is that the Bible looks a little like the land (underneath a sunset) - is it possible to make it look more like a Bible?

I'm glad you like my latest logos.
I understand what you mean about the Bible and I'll work on it.

Thank you,
Pink

Please check my #53, #54 logo revisions and tell me if I am on the right track.

Thank you,
Pink

This is great. The Bible is much clearer. Really appreciate the work.
The sunrise in the background does two things - 1 - Gives an idea of life and experience and 2 - gives idea of community. In #53 and #54 we have lost a little of the idea of community - I'm not sure why - maybe it's beacuse in the original logo it looks as if the light is in the background and is bigger than the cross and Bible - where in these designs the light looks smaller - as if it's coming out of the Bible?

Exactly, light coming out of the Bible, that I was trying to portray but as I see sun/light has a dual meaning for you.
So I submitted #55 version in which light surrounds cross and Bible to give the sense of community.
Do you like it better?

I think it work's better in #48 - I think because you can't see the bottom of the circle.

Here you go, #56 is a revision of #48 with different Bible.

#57

In this version I've changed tag line to "SERVING THE CHURCH SINCE 1951" to give more value to your long time experience.

#61, #62

New designs with different typeface and small, modern icon.

Could we try #56 with red circle and black cross - and red line under the church and with the font of# 65

#114, #116

Logo variations with requested modifications.

Thanks for the designs. I now need to show the different designs to a few of my collegues and will come back to you tomorrow with further comments.

Thank you, I'll wait for your decision.

All the best
Pink

Is it possible to look at the cross in #114 and #55- and make it straighter

Sure. I'll make the modification very shortly.

Please check #125, #126 variations.
In both logos I used the typeface that you prefer.

Thanks. Could we try the cross completely straight - with straight edeges too.

Yes I'll try that and also I'll try a version with your current cross.

Please check #129, #130 logo variations.

Really like them - thanks.

I'm very very happy!

Could you try out introducing the yellow into the design? Not sure if it will work - but would be nice to have a look. Would also be nice to see how #55 and #56 would look with the new cross (#130) in balck and red

I'm not sure either how yellow will match but I'll give it a try!

#134, #135, #140, #141 logo variations.
Do you like how I placed yellow in the logo?

Regarding #131 - could you change the line under church to yellow - and swap the colour of the bible with the cross. We are worried that the cross is too dark in the middle, but like the contrast with the bible.

#145, #146, #147

Here you go, three different color combinations for you to compare.

Regarding #147 - can you play around with the back circle - with different degrees of yellow and red. More yellow than red.

Could we also have in #147 the cross the same as colour as #135 with white outline.

Good morning,

Please check my #165, #166, #167, #168 color variations.
I'm at your disposal for any further modifications.

Thank you,
Pink

Thank you for all the variations. Could we try the #173 logo with the typography of #54 with a red underline. Could you also create a version with a straight line (red and narrow) between the name and the strapline.

Sure, I'll make the variation asap.
Thank you.

Please check #175, #176, #177 logo variations.
Thank you.

Can you do #175 with red line underneath church
thanks

Here you go, #178.
Thank you

We like th #177 - but could we have three changes please.
1 - Serving the Church from #135 - without the line underneath
2 - Sort out the kerning (spacing between characters). In particular, note the wide gaps between the V and A in “Evangelical” and the W and A in “Wales”.
3 - Make sure that the long red line - serving the church - and evangelical is exactly the same width
Another comment that came was that the position of the back circle is great - but is it possible to have rays coming from the Bible - as opposed to the centre of the circle. If this is impossible then we understand.
Thanks

Sorry for the late response, I was out of my studio.
I'll make the adjustments you want very shortly.

Thank you,
Pink

Please check my #179, #180, #181 logo revisions.
I'm not sure if I've managed to portray what you've envisioned about the rays coming out from the Bible...

Thanks for the work - could we see #179 with our other wording - Mudiad Efengylaidd Cymru, Yn gwasanaethu'r Eglwys - MEC - EMW - and the bilingual.

Hello,

I'll submit logo's other versions very shortly.
Regarding bilingual version I think that we should not use tag lines because it will look busy.
Do you agree?

Thank you,
Pink

Please check #182, #183, #184, #185 logo versions.
In initials versions I placed the tag lines but if you want I can remove them and write the initials vertically.
I'll wait for your comments.

Thank you,
Pink
