Baptist icon...

[ZiSunka]

Since Anabaptists all have the peace witness in common, how about an olive branch and a cross as our icon? Something like this very rough sketch:

GREAT IDEA and PIC!!!

AnaBaptist/Mennonite/Quaker are under the Baptist forum because of not having enough members to warrant a forum of their own.
Staff has no problem with that.

Even though staff has been blamed here for asking which church affliation a member belongs to, it is to identify who is posting here. CF has many members using the general icon that are from all faiths Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal even Catholics who are in the process of converting. We've even had members from other faiths to change their icon to come debate/argue here.

It is staffers job to help keep peace and unity among the members. Even amongst the Baptist/AnaBaptist many of you can see we have different opinions. We have specific forum rules to help keep peace and unity where we can come and talk among ourselves without other faiths coming in to debate our beliefs here.

Staff gets reports from members many times asking if a certain member with a general icon is a Baptist in fact one just a little while ago.

We have other forums for members to discuss/debate other faith groups. The Baptist/AnaBaptist was set up so that we could have discussions amongst ourselves without the interference of other faith groups.

I hope that members won't resent being ask their church affiliation but appreciative of staff trying to keep the Baptist/AnaBaptist forum a great place to come visit.

Works for me-I like it!

 

[McDLT]

So whose going to submit the icon proposal to the staff? I think you have to be a site supporter to ask for a new icon (not too sure though).

 

[graysparrow]

Well I am a site supporter but not mennonite, however if somebody wants me to do it, just tell me.

I like that icon LL!

I hope you don't mind... I added a little colour, just to see what it would look like.

 

[ZiSunka]

I like the color!

 

[McDLT]

I like the colour too.

Who would like this to be the Anabaptist icon? With enough input we can find out what we need to make this an official icon. Do we need a poll first or after we ask?

 

[Crazy Liz]

I think there are size constraints. Can someone make it the size of the other faith icons and see how it looks?

 

[Maeyken]

ok, I tried to make it small. It was hard to get it clear at all. All I've got is paint...
What do you think? (don't worry, I won't be offended)

 

[RED that's ME]

Looks good to me When the AnaBaptist members decides on an icon here it needs to be requested to Erwin in the Official Forums.

 

[Maeyken]

Thanks Red. I wasn't sure what happens next in the process

 

[ZiSunka]

I'd like to see the olive branch be a bit bigger.

 

[McDLT]

I think when it is shrunk the colour doesn't look as good. Hope not offending. Just giving an opinion.

 

[Richard]

It's prettier then the Baptist Icon we have now

 

[Maeyken]

Thanks for the feedback guys... I'll try a couple different variations next week. (My weekend is very busy!)

 

[Maeyken]

Ok, I just did a quick one with a bigger olive branch... it seems maybe a little fuzzy? I'll try to fix that later.
Opinions?

 

[ZiSunka]

I don't think it "reads" very well. Let's try something else.
