We are in the process of merging 2 Christian churches in southern San Diego (California), both of which also have private schools. One church (called Pilgrim Church) has a preschool-8th grade school, while the other (Church of Joy) has a high school. The new, combined church will be called Victory Church and the new combined school (which will offer preschool-12th grade) will be called Victory Christian Academy. Initially we are in need of a “Victory” logo that can be used to represent both the church AND the school. Ideally, this “Victory” logo could be used alone, or later modified with additional text to create lock-ups for “Victory Church” and “Victory Christian Academy.” This logo will be used on everything related to the church and school (e.g., street signs, school uniforms, church programs, letterhead, etc.). It will need to be appropriate for embroidery, printing, etc. While we are not tied exclusively to these colors, the school’s sports team colors/uniforms will be black and gold (like the New Orleans Saints). The school’s mascot is the Knights (and Lady Knights). If possible, the attributes we’d like to communicate are a warm, welcoming environment that adheres to the highest moral and academic standards.
Target Market(s)
Victory Church is open and welcoming to all ages, races and ethnicities. We live in a upper-middle-class community that is largely Hispanic, but the logo should be as approachable to ALL people as possible. To be used for the school, we are targeting families with school-aged children who are open to and can afford a moderately priced private, faith-based education.

Requirements
Must have
- We are open to ideas.
Nice to have
- As a Christian church and school, it would be nice to have the cross somehow incorporated in the logo, but not mandatory. Also might be interesting (although also not mandatory) to do something with the "V" for Victory. Or maybe both?
Should not have
- We are a church and school, so nothing risque.
