It is quite exciting to be part of a design that will be a new, significant part of a community. I had the honor of designing a church logo and exterior sign for a newly established church. The sign will be illuminated at a generous 3′x14′. Rather than the standard text that is prevalent on many signs, my goal was to keep the essence and elements of the logo itself for the location’s name on the sign. In other words, making the logo the sign. The last added element was the dove that made the design complete. We are quite happy with the results.
As you drive around your local area, take a closer look at the signs for places of worship and see what stands out from the rest. What makes it interesting, good, bad, boring, ineffective, or superior in your opinion? If you are a designer, do you try to blend and go with the trend or dare to be different?
