Working on two logos for new ministries @ my church. Ignoring the fact that church ministries probably don't need logos, and that the names are not up for debate, please give me your thoughts on the general directions, as well as the aesthetics (kerning, etc.).
The first one, CollegeLife, is focused on growth, hence the C/leaf mark. The second, QuarterLife, is focused on finding one's place in life, hence the Q/magnifying glass mark.
These ministries often interact and the logos are thus meant to work as a family. The ministries are college age & young adults (ages 18–23 & 23–33, respectively).
Thanks much and happiest of holidays,

in the shape of a 'C'
- version30
not very leafish, kinda like a banana
- canuck0
I would try and refine the leaf, as the others mentioned.

i like the leaf concept better but it does look like a banana.

kinda corporate looking for a church organization,
looks more like finacialLife

The line down the centre of the leaf needs to go to the tip, or the reverse of the leaf at the curl must be implied.
What you've got there doesn't look like a curled 2D shape.
It's monkey food chum.

meh
I was worried about the banana thing, somebody mentioned that before i posted it. I'll give it another look. Bit of a tall order to make a 'C' look like a leaf and vice versa...
Personally I don't think it looks corporate, tho if i hear that from more people i might take it more seriously...part of the problem there is the name. The college group was called UniLife, which is actually a healthcare co. from Australia, so no-go on that. Sounded awful anyway.

(Dec 30 06, 16:31)That is the concept for College Life. Quarter Life is another ministry. I'm only showing one concept for each.

For the college life ... I like number 1 because the Icon and the text go hand and hand. Personally ... I think you can add some dash of color ... perahps even if it is an outline.
For Quarterlife ... I would use number 2 as my logo placement and use number 3 text for the wording. I think they are both solid and effective. You can spend countless hours on logos. KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. ;)
