I recently put together graphics for two different series of teachings coming up at Grace Gathering. The first one is a two-part series called Hospitality: How to Welcome Others and will begin on Sunday, September 26th. I thought the image of a golden door worked well to represent the rich blessings of hospitality. “…remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” -Acts 20:35

A second teaching series will begin on October 1oth and is called Come and Follow Me: Engaging Jesus Through Luke’s Gospel.

I just unpacked the first batch of Sixty-Six Clouds posters from the printer today and they turned out great. These ready to frame posters are 11″ wide x 17″ tall and have been digitally printed on premium 100# Matte paper.  If you are interested in purchasing one, please send an email to hello@identity33.com specifically indicating which poster(s) of the Bible you would like and I will be in touch with you regarding availability. The cost is $5.00 each + $3.00 shipping. I am currently in the process of providing a PayPal method of payment on the Sixty-Six Clouds website. So stay in touch.

Back in April, 2009 I created a compilation of sixty-six word clouds representing the sixty-six books of the Bible. The project was quite a success  based on the amount of traffic and positive feedback the original blog post created. Now, a little over a year later I have launched a 66 Clouds website that is better organized and more interactive than the previous blog post. I am also in the process of collecting pre-orders for a 6″ x 9″, 144 page, perfect bound book containing all sixty-six word clouds. In addition to the book, 11″ wide x 17″ tall posters of each word cloud are available. So be sure to check out the new website and get in touch if you are interested in purchasing either the book or posters.

I just found out that the Step into the Jordan logo design has been selected for inclusion in the new LogoLounge Master Library edition called Shapes and Symbols.

The Master Library series contains logo design work from creatives around the world and is based on the following categories:

• Initials & Crests
• Typography
• People
• Animals, Birds and Mythology
• Shapes and Symbols
• Nature and Food
• Arts and Culture (including transportation, sports and architecture)

The Maranatha Brand logo I created was published in the Initials & Crests edition earlier this year. The Step into the Jordan design will appear in the Shapes and Symbols book that will be published in the next year.

The Step into the Jordan logo is based on the biblical account of Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan river and into the promised land after God miraculously stopped the water from flowing.

Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing.
Joshua 3:15-16

The equilateral triangle symbol in the center of the water not only visually divides the water, but is also historically symbolic for God. In Christian symbolism it specifically stands for the Holy Trinity.

The goal of the Step into the Jordan program is to provide Christian based recovery resources through a wide variety of online curriculum. Above is a web design layout that was presented to the client showing the logo being used in context.

“Most people in the world are on some type of spiritual journey.” Seeking God: An Investigative Journey is a 6 session study designed to help people evaluate and discover where they are at on their spiritual journey. This study has been a central tool used by Grace Gathering for many years and has undergone quite a few revisions. The latest revision is a 6″ x 9″, 100 page book format. I really enjoyed working on this project and creating the overall design and layout for the study.

Above are some of the series of icons and illustrations I created to help the reader navigate through the study.

If you would like more information about this study, or would like to purchase a copy, please contact the Grace Gathering church office directly.

The Fleetwood RV National Dealer Meeting will be held at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne this year. Above is the logo I designed for the event.
