Seen: Dad’s church logo + rational

Personally, I hope my old man doesn’t see this blog. It’s nothing personal against it. Nothing wrong between me and my old man. We are on very good talking terms. It just gives me a strange feeling if my old man calls me one day and go “Hey! Read about your typeface project. And I think I prefer Paul Rands logos compared to what’s that guys name; Wall Olims!”

I bumped into his church’s blog last night. I’m not going to post any links to the site here. There’s a live traffic feed capable of creating a lot of extra attention I don’t need. However, there’s a post about the rational for church’s logo that I thought of posting up:

Cross
Symbol of Salvation to fallen mankind and restoration of His divine heritage.

Bible With Tongues Of Fire
Anointed preaching of God’s Word, igniting revival fires across the nations.

Background In Black With White Lines
Spiritual darkness penetrated by gospel light.

Nations In White
Nations enlightened by God’s Word.

HPA
Church with a divine mandate to affect the destinies of nations.

Rolling Waves
Rivers of living waters flowing out to the nations.

Arise Shine
Rhema Word based on Isaiah 60:1 received for HPA since inception.

Meaning Of The Whole Logo
Envisioning a church yielded to the Holy Spirit and empowered supernaturally to radiate the glory and splendor of God and to enlighten a world engulfed in spiritual darkness with His living Word.

And shown here in full 3-D glory:

Suddenly I felt so enlightened after reading it. I just wish that a better and more symbolic decorative ornament has been chosen for the crest. And perhaps a stronger typeface for the text…

Fact is my dad actually bumped into this blog sometime ago thanks to my facebook/messenger addict sister.
