Brands are a unique way that quickly helps companies set themselves apart. Logos, color schemes, and fonts come together to form a brand identity that connects with people.

 

So, why is this important for churches? Just like the multicolored letters in Google’s names, the Starbucks siren, or even the Olympic rings they all create an emotional response and reaction from people. 

 

The same is true for your church. Here is a short list of tips for building your unique church brand.
