divine word lutheran – logo design

after joining divine word lutheran church, i was quickly put to work with helping out. one of the first projects was a logo design. after several other ideas, this design was created using an actual small communion glass from the church that is used every week. one of aspects that stood out to me about this church (and one of the main reasons for joining) was the strong sense of community. in a very diverse congregation, in a very diverse area of the city, the community remains one of the key elements of this church body. another goal of the logo design was to illustrate the “traditional” and the “new” coinciding together in harmony. also it was my distinct goal to stay away from any form of cross, for many reasons. but the main reason is because many of the church members and visitors have been hurt by, discriminated against, or just plain rejected by Christians and people who claim to be Christian. divine word lutheran is a much different church, and needed to be represented as such.

i not only had the opportunity to attend the ELCA’s “global missions event” in 2006, but was also hired as videographer, photographer, newsletter fixer-upper, computer and printer-fixer, extension cord go-getter, etc. it was really a great time and i had the opportunity to meet and learn from people all over the world. people from many cultures brought their songs, dance and stories. the event even included very “eye opening” moments for the everyday US churchgoer. here is a little video i put together to re-cap the week-long GME and why people should attend.
