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 one of the top entries, I would like to challenge you to see if you could come up with something along these lines.
Thanks for the new designs. I think we are close to concluding, and your contribution is currently our favorite. :) I wondered, could you try and make the bird in #88 look a bit more like a dove (symbol of The Holy Spirit) than a seagull?
Great, thanks! I think the spread out wings and symmetry of #88 makes the logo feel more balanced than #102, so I'm keeping that as my number one for now. But please feel free to experiment more with the dove if you have any more ideas.
