We don't really want the words to be part of the logo. Having just the image will give us more flexibility to add our own words and use the design in different ways.
Can you depict a "beacon" that is not necessarily a lighthouse?
For the bridge part, perhaps work in an old-fashioned suspension bridge.
We like the cross inside the beacon part. What if that cross were the United Methodist cross-and-flame design?
#4 and #5 -- I'm just not sure what the bump at the bottom is. It doesn't look like a bridge. The lighthouse is coastal -- check out how Great Lakes (Erie) lighthouses look for a hint.
The more I look at #3, the more I like it -- if we can have a brighter lighthouse -- no stripes. It really shows the beacon part instead of just the lighthouse, and the cross in the light is growing on me.
Hi. Thank you for the ranking and the feedback. I have uploaded some design based on your feedback. Please let me know if you would to see any further changes.
#11 Like the lighthouse a lot better than the one with the stripes but the logo looks cluttered and too busy. Would like to see #3 with this lighthouse.
What else could be a beacon? Maybe atop the suspension bridge? Would like to see some possibilities.
Don't care for the tilted cross in #18. 15 is better. Now that I see some cross-and-flames, I think we'll probably stick with a plain cross for simplicity. After all the point is "Christian" not "United Methodist."
Hi. To separate the lighthouse from the bridge, I angled the bridge and set the lighthouse on a rock. I have also uploaded different versions of the design as you requested. Let me know if you would like to see any further changes.
