Simple professional logo for religious non-profit: valuable info & possible direction included

None probably. An "A" maybe. "Awakening" maybe. But, a simple logo is the focus.

Simple professional logo for religious non-profit: valuable info & possible direction included

No

This logo will be the primary brand image for an ecumenical religious not-for-profit ministry. It has been a young adult ministry - and an arm of it will continue to facilitate a campus ministry - but it is growing into a community wide networking entity. Thus we want something that is attractive to a very broad audience.

We really like the way that Bethel Music (https://bethelmusic.com) utilized "the buck" as their logo. A good way to see what we appreciate is to do a Google search for "bethel music" and then select images. After scrolling a bit you'll see how they use that image in a wide variety of ways.

They also describe their selection of this image well: https://bethelmusic.com/blog/introducing-the-buck-of-bethel-music/

We are working to articulate how a feather represents our community similarly and will attach that documentation also. (this document is very raw...not even a completed 1st draft...but it does illustrate that the idea behind the feather is not rooted in whimsy or nostalgia)

Essentially we are thinking that simple, professional, and unique monochromatic feather image will represent us well. There are a myriad of 'twists' that could be done with the feather (such as music notes trailing off, etc)...and those might be novel uses of the feather - once our 'brand' has stuck - but, for now we are thinking something simple is best.

We're told that Bethel's aesthetic is a "hipster aesthetic"...we don't really know what that means. But, we'd like something simple, professional, and not overly effeminate...a feather - however it appears - will be plenty gentle.

Religion and Spirituality


Simple
Professional

We are really thinking something monochromatic. We're open to professional input. But, yeah, something simple that can be used in an infinite number of ways. Kind of like the Nike swoosh or Apple apple.

    Hello all! We are getting a little bit more "down to the wire"...so I thought I'd share feedback in a more broad manner. Please - all designers - read this for valuable direction. The feathers contained in images #118 and #119 are the strongest contenders thus far. #119: Thanks for sharing in B&W! Thanks for sharing with and without an A! ---Note, again, for all...we will be selecting the stand-alone feather that we enjoy most. Usage in the letter "A" or the word "Awakening" is a very much secondary influence. #118: We like the character of this feather more than #119 even. The character of a feather (at least a monochromatic feather) is largely in the edges and you've done well! We definitely need to see this in some black and white images though. #118 & #119: We are curious what each of your images might look like with the empty space in the middle - the vein perhaps - filled in. If you could share that would be great! #154: This is our next favorite submission. We're wondering what you could do to make it a little less leaf-like. Also, it would likely be more appealing without the ink droplet on the tip of the quill. Finally DElogo: We like the unique character of all of your entries...however, we're struggling to get you into the same category as these other three. A stand alone black and white image with a bit of loft, taper and character. You may just be too creative to live within our constraints...but, we're hopeful that you try. Thanks all for all of your entries!

    Two comments: We're only a few hours into our contest. But, we've noticed that familiarizing yourself with the information we provided will drastically help designers be successful. Also, our group's website is: www.awakeninggeneration.com ...it might help someone very interested in who we are come up with ideas. Thanks all for your time! We're excited to see who wins!
