The choice of the Church's logo reflects the core values that Seventh-day Adventists are committed to. The foundation is the Bible, the Word of God, shown open since its message must necessarily be read and put into practice. Central to that Biblical message is the Cross, and is also central in the logo. Above the Cross and the open Bible is the burning flame of the Holy Spirit, the messenger of Truth.
It is our hope and prayer that though this logo is a very simple picture of the foundation of Adventist beliefs and values it may be a recognizable symbol of the Adventist message to the world.
The logo is designed to be more than a collection of symbolic references. The design, a a whole, is intended to reflect the spirit and character of our dynamic and growing church. However, the individual elements that form the basis of the design were carefully selected to represent the beliefs and mission of the church.
The Flame
This shape is formed by three lines encircling an implied sphere. The lines represent the three angels of Rev. 14 circling the globe and our commission to take the gospel to the entire world.The overall shape forms a flame symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The lines at the top of the design suggest continued upward momentum symbolizing the resurrection and ascesion to heaven at Christ's secong coming, the ultimate focus of our faith.
The Cross
The symbol of the cross, representing the gospel of salvation, is positioned in the centre of the design to emphasize Christ's sacrifice, which is the central theme of our faith. It is also significant that the Bible-representing the law, and the flame-representing the pirit, come together at the cross.
The Open Bible
The Bible forms the base of the design and represents the Biblical foundation of our beliefs. it is potrayed in a fully open position suggesting a full acceptance of God's word.
