The votes are in, each round of balloting has finished, and the winner in our first-ever Church Branding Competition has been named.
Congratulations to Compass Christian Church whose logo rose to the top and garnered the most votes in each of four face-offs.
The competition began the week of April 19 with 16 church logos (see list below). Eight were eliminated the first week, and four more the second week, leaving the top four vote-getters. The third round of voting determined the final match-up: Parkway Christian Church (Surprise, Arizona; see below) vs. Compass Christian (a multisite congregation with campuses in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, area).
If you missed the competition, you can still see the substance behind the fun. Kent Fillinger, who, with Ben Simms put together this year”s special double megachurch issue (April 19/26), wrote “The Value of a Brand” for our Web site.
