Any thoughts?

[Marie]

My customer is a non-profit, community service group with a Christian outlook. They want purple and gold colors, a cross, and their slogan incorporated in their art. Take a look at the two thoughts that I have had so far. All I see is a hot mess at this point. Thanks!

They also wanted to see "rays of light" behind the cross - as in the upper option.

I like the top one except for the "Cares" script. Never liked "a" looking like a "q".

Tweak the kerning especially between the R and T in support. Agree with Bill on the Cares script

I think the second one has too much negative space and doesn't really flow together. It just seems very much disjointed.

The first one I really like. I think it's a solid layout with one exception. I would not adjust the tracking on "community" like you have done to match the width of the line of copy above it. I think if you just leave the tracking the same on both lines it will look just fine, if not much better. To me it looks weird the way it is.

I like the top one a lot, just modify the a and r in Cares.
Yeah, and what was said about community.
Love....Jill

Top one by a mile. Modify the A, but I actually like the R.

Here is a revised ver. A. I adjusted kerning between "RT", modified the "a", and bumped the "r" to the left a little. Thanks for your input!!

Try aligning Community right to the right edge of the above words.

Looks like 'Life Support Caves' at first glance. Lose that awful script.

Regardless, the thing itself makes little to no sense and you've deftly captured that with a layout that also makes no sense. Start over.

Better, I think a little slant on the script would look good

Another design exercise while watching hockey...

I liked the basic layout. I used some different fonts. Trajan Bold heavied up a bit and LHF Sophia Script which I tweaked quite a bit. I used Futura Light Condensed for the sub copy. I really liked the cross and added an inner concave shade for some depth. I did a different rays of right which wasn't as informal as the original.

I really should be doing housework instead of this pro bono design helping stuff... LOL!

We close at 1 pm on Fridays (don't be too jealous ) so I haven't attacked this little project since last week. Thanks for all of the ideas - especially like DrCas's mock-up. Being from not just the South - but from the DEEP South, I do get tired of logos that incorporate a cross and realize that I have been a little slap-dash on this one. Your comments will help me get back on track!

Nice DrCAS
