Logo Design Brief
I'm looking for a clean, professional logo for my consulting start-up. It will be used on all the usual places (website, business cards, social (etc).
I provide consulting for small churches interested in growing their creative ministries including worship, space, sound, visuals, and communications. Our values are "practical, accessible, and inspirational".
I'd like to see a variety of styles and designs. If I like certain designers, in addition to choosing one for myself, I'll also be recommending them to my client churches.
I'd like to see logos in blue, teal, grey, whatever looks good in those schemes. I'm looking for something simple, clean, and abstract. I've been using a lightbulb but haven't found a use of it I'm completely satisfied with, so I'm open to either a light bulb or an artists abstract take on "inspiration".
Target Market(s)
small churches that want to look more professional and youthful.

Requirements
Must have
- Both a logo and writing of the the above logo text.
- NEW DIRECTIONS: Thanks for all the great posts, I have a couple favorites, but I'd like to see some new directions with a logo that symbolizes going in a new or forward direction. I added a logo below for inspiration, but obviously I'd like to see something more modern and fitting with the wording and colors than the one. Thanks!
Nice to have
- an abstract creative take on either light bulb, a church building, or something that communicates we are about helping small churches take their next steps in ministry. But I'm really open to the artist's own creative take on it.
Should not have
- cheesy or commonly used images, typical religious icons like crosses, trees.
