Simplicity Logo needs restyling

Simplicity Ministries, an exciting new faith-based non-profit organization needs fearless artist to dress up our existing logo concept with a little graphic "lipstick"!

Simplicity Ministries

We are looking for a logo for Simplicity Ministries to be used on our signs, print materials and upcoming website. We have launched this new faith-based non-profit organization from an existing church to break out into the community to accomplish what we call our 3 C's. They are:

Celebrate: Equipping people in public and private worship. Connect: Meeting in groups to love and serve God together.
Care: Sharing Christ's love outside our church walls.

Simplicity Ministries offers access and resources to other non-profit organizations, and empowers and connects individuals to become mobilized with others to impact needs in their local communities.

Simplicity Ministries is based out of The Simplicity Center, one of the ministries under the organization, which operates a large facility in which office space is rented by other non-profits, creating an energizing and unconventional workplace environment chock full of artists and dreamers daring to make a difference in the world, one community at a time. It is an exciting time for us and if you would like to be a part of our history, we need your savvy artistic genius!

I have an existing concept in jpeg form, and can email it to you.

Here is its description in a nutshell:

simplicity is in a "simple" lowercase typed font, with the letter "t" in a font that looks like a subtle cross. The stick of the cross dips down below the rest of the word into what appears to be three ripples(water) which are the three C's.

We like the concept, but need you to polish it up into something worthy of our identity! We are also open to other ideas, but must include the 3 C's somehow.

Think simple-cuz that's our name, but simple that can still knock-your socks off!

- "Simplicity" is the visual focus, "ministries" can be smaller or more subtle and must be able to be substituted for another word when used in reference to a specific department of Simplicity Ministries "ie: Simplicity Kids", "Simplicity Center".

-must include visual reference of the 3 C's, the ripples (or new idea) should not be complete circles, but C-shapes

- would like "t" to subtly reference a cross, impacting the 3 C's, but also open to alternative ideas

- simple and polished

- fresh, clean, modern, or perhaps even vintage typewriter

- not afraid of color, but should also look decent when black and white

-your typical "church" logo
-Capital Letters
-anything too complicated-think simplicity
-something that looks straight out of clip-art
-something too corporate-looking
-you to hold back!
