...I realize you don't like this concept,...this upload is just for my portfolio, as one of my personal favorites on this contest!

...there's no better indication of "ancient faith" than Christ's monogram, so here's one more design with this element on #136 and #137!

...on #125 and #126 concepts revolving around idea of "opening the door of faith",...might be conceptualy interesting!? Any thoughts/suggestions!? Thank you!

Sure thing,...be back in a sec!

Maybe in a burgundy or red?

Can you replace the X P with a greek cross like the one in my profile picture?

...one small update, with beter readable "B" in "Basil", and Christ's monogram more prominent!

...one quick note here: This tall, elegant caligraphy style is most widely used in orthodox iconography for naming the saints on painted icons,...it is one of the most recognizable visual elements of orthodox faith worldwide,...while I was painting icons, this was the only caligraphy I've used.

Hi!

Here are few different design concepts for you.
I've read your comment in public section, and consider involving celtic fonts completly out of place, and with potential of sending wrong message.

As Serbian, and someone who use to be orthodox iconographer, I can offer some tips here. I saw in the attachments few Russian churches, and even Saint Sava church in Belgrade (biggest orthodox church in Balkans), but those are symbols of national orthodox styles,...if you want to send universal message about orthodox faith, Byzantine elements are recommended,...this means Christ's monogram (presented on entry #70/#71), or Agia Sofia dome in Constantinopol (#74/#75). There's also two headed eagle, but that is symbol mostly related to Byzantine Empire, as a state,...less related with faith.

Hope this was helpful, and if you have some constructive feedback on any of these designs, feel free to let me know, so we can focus on developing them further! Thank you!

Regards,
Bojan
