Logo Love

Jip the logo was originally a tree! I had always thought it would be as my personal Google logo for 20 years or so has been a tree and there is also a special connection to my original Trinity Bible Study Group and a strong tree referenced so many times in scriptures, our roots reaching into the river of life, branches reaching out in love etc.

However when trying to have the logo designed nothing felt right...here are some examples, and there were many!

Number 2 was close! But I have a movement dream God has called me to (watch this space haha) and suddenly that logo felt more aligned to that. Next challenge was designing the site on Systeme.io platform and repeatedly the "round" logo just did not work! I realized a more flat shape was going to be preferable and hence...

Started with the tree, again! Then the dove representing the Holy Spirit (I used to have an old logo with one) and then the fire, that was a surprise - but it happened in a group prayer one morning! I saw so many images of fire and flames, and not the destructive, destroying type but the cleansing, powerful, blazing type! And I remembered the verse: What is not of God will be burned! Meaning that may ALL our works be committed to Him! Done through Him or face destruction and that was it! Crystal Clear....

1 Corinthians 3:13 each ones work will become manifest, for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

Wow so powerful! I would like this work to honor God now and always and believe it will withstand the testing fire if it is aligned with Him! So grateful! And then the last little piece of the puzzle was that the flame should not be confined - not boxed! It should definitely burn through the ceiling....and there it was!

Oh and another special detail happened when I was sharing the logo development with mt Dear Student Nicole and I was saying I wasn't sure about the jet-black ink colour and she suggested indigo as this represents the royalty of Jesus! Incredible!

I'm still to set the pixels and refine the quality but this is the Holy Grammar logo!
