1st, great name...I married a Krissy. 2nd, its always great to see brothers and sisters in Christ here, I hope you find the perfect design to help you in your part of advancing His kingdom!
Design #10 tells a few stories. - It is imperfect...like us. - It shows a crossroads. That we all need to come to. - it forms an abstract cross and "t".
My thoughts are that your church body consists of believers from different places in life....all intersecting at this moment in history. With one common bond of Christ. The icon shows this.
Its an icon that speaks to those already in your church family, but seems inviting to those who are seeking.
It works perfectly as a social media icon, while avoiding the cliches found in many church logos.
Hey Paul, I like these but I would prefer a capital T and Capital L and capital C in each word. Except could you make the T a cross? I do like the icons for both.
#68 and #69. This is to show the important flexibility of the icon. It can be located on top or beside the wordmark. This makes it very useful,as it can fit in any location. Its square for social media. It can go beside the text for narrow areas, of on top of the text for Tshirts etc... The more functional, the more uses for marketing materials.
For #'s 84 & 67 - can you make them all Caps, but make the T and the L bigger than the rest of the letters, so that they pop? and make the "church" a tiny bit bigger?
In order to make changes a designer has to be in the top position, at least temporarily. If you re-rank, I will be able to submit the requested changes.
I just met with our team and they really like #114 with the caps and the bigger T & L. But not the graphic. Any other ideas for the graphic? Maybe using the T-cross as the graphic?
Can we also see the color scheme of dark blue and charcoal?
Hey Chrissy, No problem....we would just need to retail again, as I am unable to make changes until then. I have some other graphics that might work as well.
OK...I have some more coming but here are some for you to review.
#116 - Worship, Family, Friendship in Christ and mentoring Are represented here Also perfect for social media icon. #117 - A different take on the earlier idea of hope and future in Christ. #118 and #119 - The cross with the abstract initials included.
#122 | #123 - A better take on the original idea. Reshaped the icon. Still tells a nice story, of intersection, coming together. #125 | #126 - I'm a big fan of this. I like the different shape, and spacing. #124 - Speaks of the cross being our source of "TrueLife".
Hey Paul - we're getting close ( and I only have til tomorrow anyway). I'm going to show these to my team later this evening again. A few notes for the following: 124, 122, 118, 117
1. Can we make the color scheme a darker blue and tan?
Absolutely. The main thing is to settle on a design that works well for you. I can always tweak them later for you. Also if you rerank at your convenience I will make those changes for you.
Whew. I sent out a survey to some folks in the church and comments have been trickling in. I got one more set of changes if you don't mind. You have 6 finalists. Corvin has 2. So just let me know when changes are ready to upload, in case Corvin is uploading.
#114 1. Except for the T & L, make the rest lower case. 2. Can you get rid of the crossing path in the icon, and instead making the main path a bit wider? 3. And can you slightly brighten up that glow on the horizon. 4. And laslty, make the black color more of a grey?
#109 Do the same things for this one, except make the black grey
#146 Can I see a version of this in Red & grey?
For what it's worth, I realized what we're going for, after talking with people. I wish I realized it sooner, but oh well:) We're going for Aggressive AND inviting. Passionate about Jesus, but all are welcome. Those two don't always go together, so that's probably why it's been tricky.
also - a questions about this whole thing. It says I have to pick a winner by June 25th (which is today). If I waited until tomorrow, will that be okay? Or will they force me to pick?
You are OK. I wouldn't let it go to far past, but its fine. Possibly just let Ivan (admin) know....but its fine even if you don't. I have several uploads ready.
It was hard to remove the crossroad, so I created some new ones using the single road. I will upload when you are ready.
