The idea behind our logo

The idea behind our logo is that the cross is in the empty space. The blue quarter-pieces fill out what would ordinarily be the negative space around the cross. So what the eye sees at first are the four quarter-circles, and then, only after looking longer is the cross discernible.

This is the way we see Christ in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, we see Christ, not in what Israel did, but in what she failed to do. We see the necessity of Christ's sacrificial death in the negative space of Israel's failures and disobedience. Our logo is a small visual representation of this concept and this way of reading Scripture.

Special thanks to Jennifer Cheung who worked on the first draft of the logo, and to her friend Bonnie Man who created the final version of the logo.
