Meet the Client:

Christ Culture Community is a church rooted in a clear and active mission: to follow Christ, transform culture, and build community. With a growing and diverse congregation, CCC is focused on creating an environment where people feel they belong, feel supported, and are empowered to grow in their relationship with the Lord. As the church prepared for continued growth and a future move to a new location in Upper Marlboro, they sought a visual identity that could reflect their heart, clarify their mission, and invite deeper engagement.

Project Overview:

Develop a bold, modern brand identity that communicates CCC’s emphasis on action, healing, and service without relying on traditional church imagery.
Create a visual system that feels welcoming and thought provoking, opening the door for conversation and connection while remaining accessible to a wide age range.
Design a logo and color palette that symbolically reflect Christ, culture, and community, reinforcing CCC’s role as a place of restoration, unity, and growth.

Design Rationale:

The final logo is built around two interconnected “C” shapes representing Christ and Culture, with a keystone completing the form to symbolize the church as a foundation within the community. The circular shape conveys unity, restoration, and wholeness, aligning with CCC’s emphasis on healing and transformation. A bold sans serif typeface reinforces clarity, action, and modern relevance.

The color palette balances sacred and contemporary tones. Navy and gold establish trust, authority, and divine value, while teal and turquoise introduce themes of healing, renewal, and approachability. Together, the system reflects a church that is grounded in faith while actively engaging the world around it.
