The indianola church logo

The Indianola Church—located near Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio— was looking for a fresh new logo. The goal was to make a logo that would represent a congregation made up of both younger and older adults. It needed to be modern (so as to attract students at OSU) but still give a nod to the rich history of the church.

A strong, established presence is felt with the red diamond that alludes to the brick structure of the church. Inside the letter “I”, the flowing lines represent beautiful stained glass windows inside the sanctuary of the church. The lines also express how we relate to those around us—sometimes our path runs parallel, going in the same direction with others, and sometimes we cross paths with those going in a different direction. Last, there is a subtle Cross seen in the top right of the “I”.

The font is a callback to some of the Art Deco aesthetic of the church.
