Relevant quote
The church is built on tradition, but embraces transformation and serves diverse local and global communities. After a in-depth strategy process, it became clear that the key brand attributes were tradition, acceptance, and service. The brand identity makes use of a contemporary serif (Reckless Neue) for headlines, to strike the right balance of tradition and progress. An expanded color palette and illustrations of the building facade provide a flexible and appropriate visual direction for the next phase in the church's long history.

Opinion
The old logo — and sorry for the tiny, low resolution version of it — was not great but not terrible and, for better or worse, it literally represented the church through a cute drawing of its building. As is clear from the before/after image, the logo did not reduce well. The new logo is great not just as an improvement over the old one, which wasn’t much of a challenge, but as a beautiful example of a church identity through a thoughtful, appropriate concept and pitch-perfect execution. The icon feels symbolic and unifying without it coming across as overly religious and looks great in every size and color. The wordmark is maybe a little too contemporary but it’s fine and it does work great with the headline serif typeface chosen. The one decision I would reconsider is the the “FPCOKC” usage because, well, it can easily be misread. The applications are excellent with a very light yet refined touch and I love how it extends to something as utilitarian as a Sunday’s service sheet. Overall, a classy, restrained, well-designed, well thought-out identity that shows less is more as long as that less is super nice.
