This is a problem. A logo is an identifier to the product/company/church's mission. If the Nazarenes have removed the Bible, the very Word of God from their logo, I have a HUGE issue with it. I think there should be an explanation as to why anyone would want to remove the Bible from their logo. It doesn't make sense. We need to return to the Word of God, not get rid of it.

Although Joseph Widney never, I think, picked up on the tetragrammaton, and the phrase isn't a biblical quote, I'd suggest that any official redesign keeps to the traditional EV way of God's name, lest it elide further into Oneness teaching.<br />When even songs are transmuted from LORD to Lord (lest we SHOUT?), the pick up can be that there's about Jesus only, who is Lord, rather than Yahweh, who is the eternal society.

I think it is an attempt to update the logo in the new minimalist design concepts that are everywhere....such as what you see at an IKEA store.<BR/><BR/>However, with that said.....I do think that there is something to be said about the missing Bible and the missing words "Holiness Unto the Lord". These elements SHOULD still be included and can be in an updated format. I agree; there is something to suspect in its removal. It does seem to reflect the deconstructionist elements of an emergent influence (whether intentional or not).<BR/><BR/>The leaf on the nazarene emergent logo is probably a reference to another emergent logo called: Emergent Village. The leaf has an opening so as to look like a lower case 'e'. So the concept that the logo represents is: green, environment, peace, emergent, creation, unity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653419023681450410.post-15822910639465968252009-03-02T10:56:00.000-08:002009-03-02T10:56:00.000-08:00Hmm....

Personally I think it has more to do with the graphic designers over at Pub House finally realizing how ugly the original logo is. <BR/><BR/> Your idea that the leaf is some kind of drug reference is absurd. It doesn't even look like a marijuana leaf. It's actually the branding of the group Emergent Village (http://www.emergentvillage.com). <BR/><BR/>Also I would be interested to know where you have heard or read of emergent church leaders or teachers condoning drug use of any form?
