I've bought the domain www.recoveryandrenewal.com and www.newcreationexchange.com.   I'm a former Pastor who worked through an addiction and now want to establish a ministry/counseling practice with the hopes of being an author and a speaker at churches and 12 Step programs.

I am open to using Recovery and Renewal as the words in the Logo.  Perhaps the "&amp;;" is a Butterfly or an "o".  Maybe it would look like this is a banner:

Recovery &amp;; Renewal

In other places it would look like this:

Recovery &amp;
Renewal

Again, the "&amp;" would be a butterfly.

If I go the "new creation exchange" the "new creation" part of the name is from 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."  The "exchange" part is to communicate that the site is a place to "exchange" ideas but it also means that if you accept the truth that their is an "exchange" ... you transform from a caterpillar to a butterfly.  I'll attach some clipart of the idea but to show the transformation in a log might be to much ... thus, perhaps the butterfly is all that is required.  In any event, I think the "X" in "exchange" could be a cool place for the butterfly.  I'm thinking perhaps the "exchange" are the bigger part of the letters and in small above is "new creation".  I'm not the artist so I want to help lead you but really let a designers eye take over this project.  I'm thinking the logo has a banner type look/size to it, although I'd like a smaller type logo for other spots on web site or in use.  My ministry/counseling will be mostly to men.  As you can tell by my colors in selected art, I like color and life to be imparted.  I think the colors green communicate growth and life and blue is a color for wholeness and peace.  I like a clear/white background for the base of the site and clipart/logo. 

Yonk was professional, hard working, talented and very quick in his ideas and execution.  He or she had good communication in their work and was very timely in getting things proposed.  The creativeness of their mind was exceptional and I feel very fortunate to have my idea captured in a logo.  Kudos to them!
