Hello! Here are my first submissions that, I think, fit very well with your brief. Clean, modern and full of meaning. The icons represent letterform marks, both abstract 'H's symbolizing a road with a bright light (hope) at their end. The first submission also symbolizes a bridge. let me know if you like them and if you have any suggestions, requests I will gladly revise the designs.
#53 is by far the first logo that has hit it right for us so far. Thank you for capturing the bridge idea in a very creative way. We also love the font you used for hope!
One idea we had was getting rid of the love live lead tag line and having Community Church underlining hope. If you get a chance we would love to see how that looks.
