QUESTION:
Q+AWhat are your top 10 church logos and why?
- Sydney, Australia 

ANSWER:
Narrowing the list down to a top 10 is too difficult. So I created a list of my favorite top 20 church logos.

I chose these 20 church logos because they best match my definition of what makes a good logo.

A good logo design is…

Distinctive. Memorable. And timeless.
It is aesthetically pleasing.

It is scalable, looking good while as large as a billboard or as small as a dime. It looks good in color as well as black and white. And it is simple enough that it can be applied to a media spectrum as broad as paper to plastic and t-shirts to websites.

Most importantly, a good logo communicates the unique qualities of its brand.

View the top 20 church logos.  

Because so many churches have been improving the quality of their graphic design in recent years, I will be keeping the list updated as I come across other great church logos.
