I'm sorry -- I didn't mean to offend you or your concepts. I appreciate your very original and contemporary submissions, however, I thought the object of this forum was to provide feedback on how we want the logo for our company to look.
And, while I enjoyed the movie Braveheart, something symbolizing that is not what we are looking for. I very clearly have mentioned in other comments that we do not want anything too medieval looking. We are looking for something that more clearly represents our core values, beliefs and business philosophy which is grounded soley on the inspired, inerrant, Word of God. The red symbolizes the blood of Jesus that was shed for our sins, the blue symbolizes the royalty we have become by being adopted into God's family by having faith in Jesus, as well as, being a color representing honesty and integrity. The shield represents to us the "Shield of Faith" we are commanded to carry in Ephesians 6 in the Bible. And the silver/metallic color is representative of our unbreakable, unshakeable faith.
Entry #43 is a much better depiction of what we are after.
Thank you for your efforts!
