Riverbend R-mail - Aug 19, 2019

A New Logo

Riverbend unveiled yesterday a new logo (right) that is being implemented on church documents, stationery, business cards, publications, signage, social media, window stickers, and other places where logos routinely appear.

The highlight of this new branding is the cross that is incorporated in the Riverbend "R". Its purpose is to emphasize what Jesus did for all who will believe. The two colorful "C" elements around the R obviously mean Community Church.

The logo was designed by Riverbenders Shayna Mills and Emily Brower, with advice from the elders.
