Scope of work
Nashville First Baptist Church is a nearly 200 year old church in the heart of downtown Nashville. They wanted a new logo that would represent the bright future of the church while embracing their rich history. I created a new logo for them along with a new website that would provide a better representation of who they are to their growing community. I also designed a monthly magazine to help get news and events about their ministry in the downtown community.
Branding
Nashville’s new logo draws elements and inspiration from the church’s rich history and architecture. The stained glass in their sanctuary provided the shape which makes up the mark in the logo. The lettering was inspired by the vintage lettering on the building. Both can be seen in the photos. The new logo is fresh and new but also feels familiar to those in their community. Sometimes logos design themselves!
Web Design
I designed and deployed a new, fully responsive website using WordPress as the CMS. I visited the church on two occasions to shoot video for the website header and photos to use throughout.
First Connections
Nashville’s First Connections is a monthly magazine highlighting events and stories from within the church and in the community.
The Result:
I was the sole designer for the rebranding, website, and magazine. I also shot and edited the video and photography for the website. The staff and church have been very pleased with the rebranding project. I am also personally proud of this project since I was so involved in all aspects of the redesign. The new logo is being used well and the style has been incorporated into the branding of Nashville First.
