Church emblems and seals
An emblem builds the name into a circle or a shield. It fits a school, a historic congregation, or a formal publication. It is a poor app icon unless you also make a simpler monogram, because the small type in a seal disappears.

Use it when
- The church already speaks in seals, crests, or a founding year you want on the mark.
- The logo will be printed large enough to read the ring of type.

Questions
Can the seal include a motto?
A few words, yes. A sentence, no. The ring of type is already at the edge of what stays readable.
