Logo Project Questions
Thinking about creating a new logo for your church or organization? Below, you will find a series of questions to consider and answer. Underneath these questions are notes based on my experiences with other churches and basic information that is related to that particular question.
Graphic Design for Worship and Outreach
This article originally appeared in the July 2015 newsletter, “Worship the Lord,” published by the WELS Commission on Worship.
Visual communication is a vital part of how we interact with the world around us and it is also an important method by which we connect the people and the gospel in worship. Spectacular art, architecture, stained-glass windows, paraments, and vestments are used within the worship space because visual art has a powerful impact on our minds. Visual communication has been embedded in the life and culture of the Christian church for centuries, and in today’s digital age the need for excellent visual communication remains.
St. Michael and All Angels
Next month marks a very important milestone for me. It will be exactly one year since I started Paramentics, creating weekly art for the readings of the church year. It’s hard to imagine that it’s been this long, especially when considering the months of preparation before I even got the website up and running. But here we are—with the first series nearly complete, a large collection of templates, and other useful artwork—and it’s only the beginning.
To celebrate this occasion and to answer one of the most frequent questions that was asked from the many emails I’ve received, I will walk you through my creative process when making each set of art. I will be using the art for the festival of St. Michael and All Angels as the basis for this article.
