Word of Wisdom From The Genius That Is Steve Jobs

In the next few days you may notice some amazing, cool, bizarre, or just plain freaky stuff happening to my blog.

THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL (or at least until Friday).

My blog has not been hacked, cracked, or jacked. No. Instead, I’m beta-testing the coveted, brand-spanking new Standard 3.

Summer is quickly rolling in and today I created this graphic for our church’s Summer Party (formerly known as the infamous “Church Picnic”).

Summer Party Graphic Freebie

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m not a graphic designer. I know how to follow some good instructions (tutorials) and I get by that way.

With that out of the way, I just wanted to pass along the psd file for this image in case you need something for summer. Use it to your heart’s content and if you do, leave a link to it in the comments. I’d love to see what you do with it.

Creating a Delicious Logo

  • Figure out who you are as a church before you start a logo
  • Your brand goes from parking lot to center stage.
  • I see this, I think that.
  • The logo can’t tell your whole story but it can set the tone for it.
  • If I see a Cracker Barrel logo I don’t expect to hear them play rap music.
  • If I see an Apple logo I don’t expect them to play country music.
  • Same applies to church. There’s instant perception
  • Think of Apple. Whole foods. Amazon. People trust these brands. Continue Reading…
