    Nothing really

    Posted on Dec 03, 2009 at 10:25 PM

    It is what it is...a church logo... I encompasses all the element you said Fire, water, hands...almost all the natural elements (Fire, Water, earth, wind)...

    Would transfer well to stationary, shirts, books, etc...

    Would probably loose the gradient in the type though...

    The logo mark

    Posted on Dec 03, 2009 at 11:36 PM

    Logo mark is very creative. Agree with Marcus about removing the gradient. Would also like to see the concept with the word minstries beneath remnant. Good work

    I get everything but the lion

    Posted on Dec 04, 2009 at 7:56 AM

    I see everything you wanted to incorporate except for the lions face. It's not a bad logo it just is a bit complicated for a logo. If the client wanted all those things incorporated, then I think you did the best job possible. If on the other hand, those were just some ideas the client wanted to portray, I think you could do better on this. I love the font and the typography here, the only things I'm not sold on is the object. You want the logo to be memorable, I'm not sure this is. Just my two cents, hope it helps!

    The letters are all in lower case...

    Posted on Dec 04, 2009 at 8:55 AM

    I know there might be a purpose, but a name is a name and should start with capital letter.

    Where i can find the lion? :)

    Posted on Dec 04, 2009 at 3:52 PM

    Well, its more than logo would need. Logo should be simple, and yet design is very deep. Try to make less shapes. But great idea.

    Scale

    Posted on Dec 04, 2009 at 8:16 PM

    This is very good If it where mine I would expand it(illustrator)and experiment with scale proportions of various elements something could be improved scale wise me thinks it is the ground flairs/flames /motion motive.

    Unless there is a very good reason for the brownish coloring I think warmer gradients may be closer to a spiritual ambiance....as usual IMO.

    The colours

    Posted on Dec 08, 2009 at 6:18 AM

    Very nice design! Shape-wise I can't really give any improvements. I do - however - think it would look better if the colours were changed.

    Just quickly inverting my screen (so that the background is light and the text dark) gives it a totally different look.

    simply the tree

    Posted on Dec 08, 2009 at 8:45 AM

    I like the overall concept, but the logo is too busy. I would try it without the "water" below the trunk. Without the guidance ("lion's face, roots, water, fire, hands") none of the incorporated elements are obvious. It seems labourous to find them and it is a bit precious to have 5 "hidden" symbols.

    I would go back to the client and work with them on an image that embodies their idea of their church. Since they have taken the name of "remnant", a strong image that evokes their sense of saving grace and/ or surviving the trials of this world through gace will resonate.

    Good luck.

    FWIW, I see more of a dove descending than a lion's face

    Needs more color

    Posted on Dec 08, 2009 at 11:19 AM

    It's looking good. I couldn't see the lions face... what I did see was a whale diving in the water =D

    Anyway... I think you should try some color... its serious (which is good for a church logo) but feels a bit depressing

    I don't see the lion? ..but that's ok.

    Posted on Dec 08, 2009 at 12:34 PM

    I think it's great actually..just a few refinements IMO.

    I think the word 'ministries' should be a bit bigger. It's a bit cluttered in the tree area and when scaled down could be a blur so you might want to put less leaves..jus a few less...space it out. Yes, lose the gradient in the word 'remnant'.

    Good Work Luke.

    remnant

    Posted on Dec 08, 2009 at 2:22 PM

    As mentioned earlier I would drop the gradient off of remnant... or if you kept it... allow it all to brighten up like the t in remnant. Remnant almost gets lost with the heavy gradient.

    That said, I think this design will work in black and white with no gradients -- so that's a win win either way. When looking at a logo I always take the clothes off to see if it still works in black & white.

    Standard

    It's just seems like an above average logo. That's about it. Standard.

    Would remove the gradient and increase type size. This will transfer well to other media.

    The shadowing on the name.

    Posted on Dec 10, 2009 at 2:23 PM

    The t in "remnant" sticks out too much. It is a little too bright and bold. I do like the logo. Recognizable, simple. Would transfer well to products or to black and white if needed.

    Nothing

    Posted on Jan 23, 2010 at 6:19 PM

    I absolutely love this design, the concept and the approach.

    I would like to see what this logo would look like as a flat two colour image.

    Again, really really nice dessign!

      what kind of a feedback is this? you say "good design" and then you effectively rate it as if it was a really bad design, 3-1-1-0? I have seen you do this with several designs, please be more diligent with your ratings.
