We ranked your design #1 b/c it is different than the crosses and trees we've been seeing, it drew our eye in. We're not sold on it yet but like the creativity in it. The motto looks slightly out of place where it is at. As far as color we're trying to get away from the golds/browns (maybe something bit more taupe/brown/grey).
We like the motto in the wave best. We don't really care for the glow in 83. We're not sure if a boat is the best symbol to represent our church but we do like the idea of incorporating it into being fishers of men. Most of our team really likes the most recent color scheme. The only thought we have is that the boat seems to be the same size as the text and we'd like to see what it would look like with the boat smaller and more emphasis being on our name and the symbol just complementing it.
