I also updated our brief to try and be more exact of what we are looking for. A way to illustrate progression from being a timid man to a strong christ centered man. If we could see something with christ in a cross or christ carrying his cross with something showing forward movement, that would be a powerful message.
looking at it more and liking the idea. i'm seeing the cross, the eucharist and a crown of thorns. not sure if thats right but would be cool to make the imagery more clear and less confusing. the combination of those 3 images would be pretty sweet.
