This center is owned by a group of churches. I spoke with one of the representatives yesterday, and he wondered if it was possible to make the logo suggest that this is a Christian camp, without making it difficult for people of other beliefs to rent the place.
So we don't want to use the cross or angels as part of the logo. However, the word "Oven" actually means "Above", so I am thinking maybe the logo should rather emphasize that - a connection to good things above, something that brings the thoughts to heaven, revelation, love from above - without getting too playful. ;)
Since you have two of the top entries, I would like to challenge you to see if you could come up with something along these lines.
Thanx for the feedback, and thanx for ranking me as your top 5 finalists I have updated my designs with some christian symbols that will surely suggest that its about Christian Camp.
Thanks for the new suggestions. We actually want it to be a bit more subtle, so if it is possible to somehow suggest a connection to heaven and God, rather than using explicit symbols like the cross and the halo, I think that would work better. But the new colours are great! Could you post entry #77 again, without the cross?
Thanks! I think the illustration of #82 is the best yet, but I'm not sure about the font. Could you show me what it would look like with the the same font and spacing as used in #75?
