Logo

We have decided on a logo for essential church. We wanted something that looked modern and clean, but would not blend among other typical church logos. The logo is a combination of two images. The first is an atom, which is the most essential or basic element of everything. But what's really neat is that hidden/incorporated within the atom design are four hearts. Can you see them?

The four hearts relate to the foundational truth Jesus shared in Matthew 22:36-40 when he was asked what is the most essential or greatest thing God asks of us: His answer was to love God and love others as you love yourself. The logo is a representation what is most essential, love God, others, and yourself.

The heart facing up, represents loving God, the hearts to the left and right is loving others in discipleship/growth settings like small groups and loving others by serving. The heart facing down points to our need to love ourselves by respecting our bodies and making decisions that foster our own spiritual growth like prayer, bible study, and personal holiness.

Next time I'll share a little more about design concepts and principles that must be considered when designing a logo.
