What do you think?

Need your critique and thoughts...

Our church recently acquired a retreat center and chapel, so I am working on a new logo.
I have to do a logo for the retreat center and one for the chapel (there will be services at the chapel every Sunday) so I need a logo for the retreat center that I can also include elements of in the chapel logo.

The retreat center and chapel are in the foot hills of the mountains and very rural.

The dove is a required element, everything else can change.


Thanks so much!

Wow, I like all of them... really.

If I had to pick my favorite, it would be the bottom right one with the red circles (I like the boldness of it) or the other one on the bottom right. But all of them are very good.

#5 and #7 are my favorites.

#5 has the most flexibility -- t-shirts, letterhead, website, etc. It would work well in grayscale or full color.

I like the typeface on on #1 the best.

Nice work.

Tell us which one is your favorite.

Which one did you spent the most time obsessing over?

#7, though I might try it with the font from #5 (dig that H ). And regardless of which font you use, I'd convert the letters to a shape, and make the H and the N closer to the thickness of the other letters; right now they kind of overpower the others.

I really like the dove in #6 - it's unique.

I really didn't about any one of them. I did a lot of sketch work before working on the computer, I spent more time obsessing about fonts and layout.
