We are breaking the usual pattern of Tuesday tips and Friday fill-ins this week to bring you a special article on our progress to come up with a new logo and packaging design for Visual Liturgy Live. As well as being lots of fun, we are working hard with our designers – Rareform London<\/a> – to establish a new brand style for VL.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As more versions of Visual Liturgy have been released with Methodist and Church of Ireland editions joining the Church of England and others in the pipeline (which I can’t tell you about now), the limitations of our current branding are starting to be felt quite keenly.<\/p>\n

As a result, we are looking at doing some new design work for the logo and the box which can then be carried throughout the software and onto the website as we incorporate this blog into the rest of the site (which definitely needs to be spruced up).<\/p>\n

We thought you might be interested to see how our thinking and the designers’ work has been progressing. We’ve prepared a short Powerpoint slideshow to show you how the work has been progressing and how our thinking and the thinking of our designers has developed. If you don’t have Microsoft\u00ae Powerpoint, you can install a free Powerpoint Viewer from Microsoft’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Download the presentation<\/a> (designprez.pps, 4.65Mb)<\/p>\n

We also thought you might like to give us your feedback on our current big decision!<\/p>\n

The big decision<\/h3>\n

We have boiled our choices down to two possible logos for Visual Liturgy. Which one do you like best?<\/p>\n

\"NewOption 1<\/h4>\n

The first option has a resonance with our existing logo and the use of the book. It cleverly hides VLL in the actual design and also has symbolism from praying hands – both at the altar (the V with arms outstretched) and alone (the two L’s as hands clasped together). The colour black in the logo may be changed.<\/p>\n

\"NewOption 2<\/h4>\n

Option 2 is more of a departure from what has gone before. It is based on the Icthus fish symbol and is actually a collection of 8 fishes in a cross pattern. It is meant to resonate with classic Christian imagery – the fish, the cross, celtic knotwork – but also reflects a control key on keyboards and thus carries a contemporary, computer edge to it as well. The colour yellow in the logo may be changed.<\/p>\n
