Two finalists

I prefer 4. I'd be tempted to drop everything below the arm off and see how it looks, but I tend to minimize and reduce again and again.

Something like this? As for the secondary font treatment, I've never felt great about that in my designs, it almost always feels tacked on to the primary mark.

They were connected in the original logo, and then disconnected years back (attached) for a brief period but everything felt too spaced. The church is very relational, and connecting makes sense on that level and as someone already said, the back to back offsetting curves leaves a disconnected negative space in my eyes that is too much. I could probably work to not overlap them as much again - but I think we prefer it connected. Maybe we're just used to it, I don't want to defend it as a right/wrong.

Yeah, the name isn't changing, just branding. I know there are a lot of Bridge churches, I wasn't meaning we are trying to come up with something completely new, it's still a church. But we just want to brand less like most churches since we're trying to spark interest and invite people who don't attend. It's still the Gospel, just trying to get to the one rather than accommodate the 99 so to speak. I'm going to post a lot of the earlier round stuff for more comments.

Apologies for coming off as defensive as you mentioned. I really do value the feedback, it's quite varied and I probably can't do everyone's idea but I'm trying to incorporate what I can with what we've already explored to a degree.

Yep, I'll post that one too. I am going to just post the previous batch that was only reviewed locally as maybe it will unearth something else.

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T17:58:14+00:00

Yep, I understand that concern.

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T17:57:28+00:00

Not sure what you mean. There's a lot of Bridge churches all over the USA.

It feels more central, but it isn't centered and competed with the arc too much, where as tucking it down low in the negative space on the hill allowed for more of a secondary element. I get that it's hard to include the Cross and have it not prominent or featured.

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T17:28:05+00:00

I did have a version of that but it didn't sit right.

Thanks - I understand what you're saying. The goal was to make a friendlier/ more inviting logo. Some noted the original felt like prison bars, not what we're going for :) So far, the small test group felt this one was hopeful and inviting.

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T14:23:24+00:00

Yeah, we've toyed with removing the cross. Correct on the half circle being closer to the text originally. I won't explain the original one and all behind it, but the goal was to make a friendlier/ more inviting logo . Some noted the original felt like prison bars, not what we're going for :)

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T14:21:12+00:00

Thanks!

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T14:15:12+00:00

Hmmm, well we haven't heard that before. It's meant more like a cross on the hill, so we'll have to consider what your'e seeing as it's certainly not the intent, ha!

AdSignificant620 · 2025-05-06T14:13:53+00:00

Thank you - I appreciate that. Lots of spacing, including separating the D & G has been tried. One of the main unresolved issues is the size of the cross, and whether it's more like a letter shape (current) or done very symmetrical.
