Core Themes:
Timeless & Sacred – Evoking a sense of historical continuity and reverence.
Modern Simplicity – Clean, well-structured design that translates well across digital and print media.
Liturgical Aesthetics – Incorporating elements from traditional church architecture and design.
Warm & Inviting – Reflecting an approachable and welcoming faith community.
Design Influences:
Gothic Revival – Stained glass, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and decorative tracery.

Art Deco Hints – Subtle geometric lines and elegant symmetry.
Classic Typography – Serif fonts that echo historical religious manuscripts and calligraphy.
Logo Requirements
Symbolism: The logo should contain a Christian cross (nonsymmetrical [longer base]), be rich in meaning, and convey a connection to faith, tradition, and legacy. Potential elements include:
A stylized cross (potentially incorporating gothic or art-deco detailing).
A stained-glass-inspired motif (abstracted for a modern feel).
A crest or emblem design (reminiscent of historical church seals).
Arches or windows that reference cathedral architecture.
Versatility: The logo should be effective in:
Full color and monochrome.
Print materials (bulletins, signage, apparel).
Digital formats (website, social media, mobile apps).
Typography: Preferably a serif or a modernized blackletter font, balancing heritage with readability.
Color Palette:
Green-toned grays
Rich gold and brass tones (tradition, divinity).
Muted stone and neutral colors (grounded, architectural).
Avoid overly bright or neon tones.
