Contemporary, thriving church looking for new logo

Lighthouse Community Fellowship

We are a growing church in upstate NY that reaches a diverse group of people from several surrounding communities. Our heart is to be known as a caring, encouraging presence in our area. We need a fresh logo that we will use on letterhead, business cards, etc. as well as on a new website that we will be launching in the near future.

Anyone within a 50-mile radius of our church. We minister to families, young adults, youth, etc.

First, please do not use lighthouses!

We want a logo that is simple, yet eye-catching - something contemporary, not old-fashioned. Please do not use any stock clip art or generic/cliché cross or church logos.

It should be scalable so that it looks great on either a billboard or a business card. Also, it should look good in color as well as black and white. We’d like it to be creative yet not too detailed. Something that is memorable – especially when people in our communities see it.

Our church mission is: Encounter God, Connect People, Serve the World. We don’t want that on the logo, but thought it could help bring ideas. We also have vision statement about “Being a light in a dark world, transforming people from darkness to light.”

Also, we have toyed with the idea of changing the church name from Lighthouse Community Fellowship to just Lighthouse. Keep that in mind when laying it out around the church name.

Right now all we have for a logo is the name Lighthouse with a lighthouse in place of the “i” and cross-shaped light beams coming off of it.

We want it in .eps, .tif, .ai, and .psd formats. Also, please make sure it is at least 300 ppi.
