this is clearly a church logo, and a good one might I add. The previous “crown” church logo kinda made me feel unconfortable because of the idea behind royalty and riches.

This one is more modest, the “sloppyness” of the table’s contour makes me think of a worn wooden table, something sober. The fish is of course relevant.

I Honnestly think this is the best church logo I’ve seen so far. Good work.

I tend to believe in the idea that “Good design is good business.” So when you say “better design” do you mean aesthetics or execution? I believe both of those things are relative. If you mean “better design” in terms of solving the clients problem successfully and in a way that satisfies the brief and makes them happy…well, that sounds to me like “good business” and “better design.”

As I said in an above comment, the client did drive the direction using the brief, however the execution is all me, and I don’t mind saying I happen to quite like it. I looked around a lot at church logos, and I think this one fares quite well comparatively against many others with empty meaning and cliche.

Also, for Christian churches, the fish means a lot to them, and the idea of making it too far one way or the other just to avoid reminding people of something else is just not worth it.

In the end, again, it solved the problem posed, and it NO logo is going to appeal to everyone all the time.
