Thanks to a generous new friend of the ministry I have met we finally have a proposed graphic logo for Desired Life Ministries. I wanted to share the proposed graphic logo and the new font for the text in the logo to get feedback from everyone. Please submit your feedback and leave comments on your thoughts on the logo and the font. The idea was that we would have a graphic logo and create it so that we could have the horizontal or vertical view of the logo and font for DLM.
There is a lot of thought that went into the logo design and it is full of meaning. At the first glance it may look like a mountain view with a sun behind it in a circle and an odd choice for the color of the mountain.
The meaning behind the logo is as follows:
The mountain is broken in two and the smaller mountain a heart color because the first part of the life map is the restoration of the heart. There is not a typical shape of a heart in the logo because no two hearts are identical. We live in a world of fallen and broken people who are in need of restoration of the heart. There is a sun in the logo to symbolize light and revelation that plays a part in the renewal of the mind of which is the second part of the life map model of the ministry. Then of course there is the obvious mountain of which symbolizes vision of which is the third part of the life map model. Just as you come closer to any mountain you begin to see more detail and more of what is there is revealed so is the meaning of the logo. There are two parts to the mountain that also symbolize the two phases of vision. The smaller part being general direction and the larger in specific vision within calling.
All of this is within a circle of which symbolizes the trinity. There are 3 shades of dark grays in the circle and yet they make one circle. All of the life map takes place within a relationship with God. The logo has been placed in a circle to symbolize that. The logo has broken parts because the life map is a life long process and a initial process. It will not be complete in this life time which is symbolized in the logo shape. There may very well be even more within the logo too. As the process has moved along and we have worked on different logo ideas these thoughts and ideas are what have thus been revealed for the logo and meaning behind it.
I would like to extend a very special thank you to the graphic designer who did this logo design work for the ministry and donated the time to do it. If you have any graphic design needs please send us a email to be put in contact with the designer of the logo. While the logo has not yet been finalized as the new "official" logo for DLM it most likely will become the new logo. Please leave your feedback and comments and anything you see in the logo and meaning in it.
