PROJECT TITLE:
20 Years of Legacy - Logo Design for “The Cadre”

Or “XX”. For 20

⸻

BACKGROUND:
The Cadre is a 20-year discipleship and leadership program founded by Jeanne Mayo that has mentored thousands of pastors and ministry leaders across the U.S. and around the world. The word “cadre” itself has a military origin—referring to a trained core group destined to multiply leadership. The program has been marked by spiritual intensity, personal sacrifice, raw honesty, and deep formation.

This final year (2025) marks 20 years of legacy, and I want to create a powerful commemorative logo that reflects the weight and impact of what The Cadre has meant to those who have been through it.

⸻

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR:
An elegant yet bold 20th Anniversary logo that can be used across merch, print, digital, and signage.

Key themes:
	•	Strength
	•	Discipleship
	•	Honor
	•	Multiplication
	•	Military/Commissioned feel (but still spiritual in tone)

Design tone:
	•	Elegant, not flashy
	•	Strong, not harsh
	•	Refined, yet symbolic

⸻

REQUIRED TEXT ELEMENTS:
	•	“The Cadre” (using the original logo or a style that complements it)
	•	“20 Years of Legacy”
	•	“2005 – 2025”
	•	“Truths That Formed a Generation”

⸻

OPTIONAL DESIGN ELEMENTS (if it fits your artistic flow):
	•	Military-style elements like rank insignia, stripes, badge shapes, a banner, etc.
	•	Symbols of legacy or sending (i.e. laurel leaves, arrows, flame, shield, sword, etc.)
	•	Typography that mixes serif for tradition and sans-serif for modern strength
	•	Clean lines or framing to give it a patch/badge feel—but no circles

⸻

USES:
	•	Embroidery on jackets
	•	Screen printing on hoodies/shirts
	•	Website/social media graphics
	•	Print collateral at the final Cadre event (May 2025)

⸻

The original Cadre logo file is attached, brand colors are Black and White. I’d love a mockup or two with different layout approaches—maybe one that’s very badge-forward, and one that’s more horizontal and minimal but still bold.

Thanks so much for helping us honor this legacy well.
