OUTSTANDING LOGO FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PENTECOSTAL CHURCH

THE ELEVATION CHURCH

we are a group of young people looking forward to starting a world class pentecostal church in Lagos, Nigeria. It is a unique church that preaches righteousness and service to God. we intend to help people discover, develop, and maximize their potentials service God and doing his will

We aim to be an international church. we want to appeal to young and upwardly mobile professionals, signles and young couples who live in and around our environs. we intend to make our church conducive and comfortable enough for people to belong.

We are looking for a logo that will represent our church.
We would love to have the logo incorporate what our name stands for

1. we want it to be playful but not cheap or childlike or comical
2. Elegant - we want to come across as being elegant. We want the locals to feel like they can afford to come to our church 2 times a week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.

Here are examples of what we are trying to avoid:

Please feel free to experiment with colors but not more than three

Please, when designing, make application of the logos on various media & backgrounds such as on stationery design, souvenirs, just apply it

The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai, .eps, .cdr, .pdf(CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
