The logo a simple, easily identifi able, and graphically fl exible logo that could be used to say who we are: “gathered to go”.

We gather to be transformed so that we can continue on mission, with the Gospel as His servants in the world.

All the energy that is produced within this transformational community is not to be stored or hoarded, but rather to be expended through love and service to those who are not a part of His Body.

The logomark is a stand alone graphic element, however in most situations the logomark and word-mark should be used to-gether (lockup). The word-mark should always be used in combination with the logomark

Use helvetica neue font style as a base font for all literature

Just because Times New Roman is automatically set in documents does not make it a good choice for a font

Genesis 1: 1-10

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, dark-ness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning —the fi rst day.

6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the wa-ters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning —the second day.

9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gath-ered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

Use Aaargh font style when titling a document or creating a headline

Pair this with a body of text in the Helvetica Neue font style. They make a good couple

Genesis 1: 1-51 In the beginning God cre-ated the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning —the fi rst day.

Meaning: make sure to choose images that pertain to the brand or to the content

Content:content should always have hierarchy to the background

Clarity:use small images sparingly:they increase clutter and reduce legibility

Don’t make anything unnecessarily large or small, it’s hard to look at and just plain silly
