The new SBLC logo was launched on Sunday 29th September at the combined SBLC service, held at Faith Junior Campus.
Following a brief provided by the SBLC Governance Council, designer Sam Rosenzweig has created a simple but memorable logo, which balances visual appeal with versatility. Sam’s love for Jesus, his keen understanding of branding and communication, combined with his ability to translate ideas into visuals have resulted in a logo that can be used across various applications.
If you missed the video presentation at the combined service you can watch it here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kFmtjtHOJnHh5lgkdiIfQ0l-rjEmPn0z/view?usp=drive_link
