About the Logo

Our church's modern logo was approved by the 2001 General Assembly of Australia.
It stated: 'Without disowning the current Crest(s), approve and adopt the design and description of the logo, as presented… as another visual emblem of the Church'.

The design reminds us that we need to be "Going forward with the Gospel to Australia". It consists of a vertical, contrasting, stylised cross surrounded by 5 five-pointed stars in the form of the Southern Cross, positioned on a solid oval angled at 30 degrees.

The oval is a simple and modern shape. Its forward tilting symbolises our church's desire to move out into the world with the gospel.

The towering cross symbolises the powerful message of the Gospel. Its central position reminds us that Christ is the centre of the church.

The stars roughly form the Southern Cross, the most recognised and universally accepted symbol of Australia. Their five-point design is taken from our Church Crest.

The blue colours symbolise the clear blue Australian skies.

About this Site

This site provides a complete range of logos and crests to download for a wide variety of uses. The options include versions of the logo with solid and gradient-coloured ovals, black and white, as well as some reverse effect versions, and the option of with or without text. The crests are provided in two formats, JPEG and GIF, whereas all the logos are provided in three image formats:

	Low resolution JPEG thumbnail image (72dpi)
	High resolution JPEG image (300dpi)
	High resolution EPS image (for professional use)

This should enable you to either print your own stationery using an inkjet/laser printer (300dpi JPEG files would be best for this) or take the EPS file to your local graphic designer or printer for a professional production. You could also just supply your local printer with this web address for them to download the required EPS file.

For a small cost, there is also an option for us to provide you with your own church's name inserted in the wrap-around text position. Contact us if you would like more information.

Some Tips

	As every inkjet printer and paper type (eg. glossy) will produce slightly different colours, you may need to check which looks best. The solid coloured oval will probably print closer to the true colour than the gradient colour.
	The JPEG images have been saved in a red, green, blue (RGB) format to comply with your colour monitor and most inkjet printers. On screen, the three-colour JPEG (RGB) images may look different to the four-colour EPS (CMYK) images.
	The best printing quality will be achieved when a logo is downloaded and actually inserted into a document.
	The Pantone colours comply with printing industry standards. Supplying the colour numbers to a professional printer will guarantee uniformity.
	The cost of printing will vary according to the number of colours used. This will range from the one-colour solid blue and white logos, through to the four-colour gradient logo with yellow stars and red text.
