I don't like a sword at all. The Sword Revelation is taking about is a Word that can divide between soul and spirit, between bone and marrow. The Sword and the red Cross is a reminder of when the church became militant under Constantine; an apostate church. It's a reminder of the Crusades where the church became an instrument of Satan under the Cross and the Sword. I think a symbol which represents a discerning Word would be a better symbol of the truth behind what the Sword in Jesus' mouth actually means. A physical sword does NOT convey the Truth. And many ministries and churches who like to tout the Sword as part of their logo are often hard, pharisaic and unchristlike. One of the Churches I was a part of had a sword across the Bible as their logo. It always gave me a cold feeling. And the church was very pharisaical so the sword was actually a reflection of their attitude. Find a symbol for the Word as Truth which divided the Truth from Lies, darkness from light.

Hi, I actually like the downward pointing sword. It makes me think about two things: first of the double-edged sword of the Spirit, and also reminds me of the cross, due to its shape. I would not change anything in it, but if you do, keep in mind the two points above, as for me they are what make the current image a powerful one. Jorge <snip> Hey Everyone, As I see that I will be sending letters out to copyright holders really, really soon. I am putting together the last little bit of touches to the whole process that includes having a professional looking letterhead, which means I need a logo for The SWORD Project (you know if anyone wants to help me out and provide me with a good finished letterhead e-mail me.) What are people's opinion is the logo on the website (http://www.crosswire.org/sword/) professional looking enough to be used. Should we have a different one? Anyone still interested in a logo contest? I am still willing to front some money for a prize for the logo contest. In Christ, Jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
