Helping Hands Ministries InternationalLogo Design Contest

We have thought about having Helping Hands on top with a bar and Love in Action as our sales message below. This is just ONE idea and not to have everyone do this idea... so create away!

I'm not liking the slogan in the logo - it's just too much text and too small.

overall, I like the simplicity of #10.

#1 - #6 are a bit "interesting" or abstract - I'm not sure I understand them.

Just one idea is to find a logo that takes the previous one (in the letterhead) and updates / refreshes it while still maintaining some connection to the existing logo.

one design point that #1 - #6 got right was the layout of the words (emphasis) "Helping Hands" with a smaller "Ministries International". You can drop the slogan part entirely.
Thanks,

I like the font used in #16 with "Helping Hands" on the first row and "Ministries International" on the second row - like in #18.
I like the logo on the right of the text (#9, #10, #16, #14)
#9 has a nice shape and style, but I don't like the star pattern coming out.
#10 has the best looking of the hands.

Another design through: We are going to have multiple logos for our organization (one for the organization, one for a set of ministries, one for a store we have, ect...) I'd like to ties these together. One idea is to have a common "Helping Hands" above the line with the rest of the branding below the line "Ministries International", "Love in Action", "Thrift Store", "Oasis outreach", etc. And then use a base logo (like in #10, #17, #19, #9) on the left with a different simple symbol or design inside the base logo. Like Hands with a cross, and hands with a store, and hands with a heart - so that all the brands / logos are different but yet the same - that they should have a common thread, even with different logos, names, and possibly color schemes.
