Collide

Collide is a week-long "theology camp" and service/mission experience for teenagers in Nashville, TN. The beliefs and pre-conceptions of these Christian youth and their adult leaders are challenged and disoriented as they work at various mission and service agencies in the city of Nashville, and form relationships with people who are unlike them: people who are homeless, impoverished, immigrants, Muslim (or other faiths). The point is for their pre-conceived notions and their faith to COLLIDE with the realities of the world around them. We spend much of the week then discussing how their faith might relate to a world that is much more complex than they might have assumed.

    Company Intro:
    Collide is a week-long "theology camp" and service/mission experience for teenagers in Nashville, TN. The beliefs and pre-conceptions of these Christian youth and their adult leaders are challenged and disoriented as they work at various mission and service agencies in the city of Nashville, and form relationships with people who are unlike them: people who are homeless, impoverished, immigrants, Muslim (or other faiths).

    Instructions:
    Collide is a program run by the Center for Youth Ministry Training (CYMT) and so we want the Collide logo to incorporate the CYMT logo in some form or fashion. Our current design incorporates it nicely. Our dissatisfaction with our current logo is that (a) the majority of the word "ollide" is a tad too boring - for a program named Collide, the whole logo feels like it needs more movement maybe. Additionally, we've pondered what it would look like to incorporate aspects of the Nashville skyline into the logo, such as turning the L's into buildings (such as Nashville's iconic Batman building) and the arch of the O into a bridge. Colors do not matter. We plan to actually change the colors on an annual basis in order to differentiate one program year from the next -- make your design with the color palette you think works best, or find the color palette of our mother organization at cymt.org. (Also, if you decide to work with a skyline, we think this style is very cool: http://www.istockphoto.com/vector/nashville-skyline-sketch-gm184630739-28138752 )

    This is my playing around with our original logo to give you a feel of what I mean by "movement" and "collision" -- but again, you (hopefully) have better ideas than me!

    The logo above is something I've been playing with that might help you get the picture of what I mean by "movement" in the letters or capturing the feel of "collision." I'm not completely sold on this idea -- nor the font -- so don't feel the need to copy it. But what I generally like about something like this is there is a sense of movement and collision, but without it looking too much like a comic book. Our event is a serious event, but with a flair of fun and whimsy. So having a logo that captures that is important. Keep up the good work and we'll select one of you as the winner soon.
