During my time at this internship, the Catholic Church called for a Eucharistic Revival. This lay movement initiated a greater focus on the Eucharist within the Catholic Church, and a logo was utilitized to kickstart this movement within the parish. Having to include previous logos from the parish brandbook was a challenge, but I blended This icon represents a "Real Presence in Us" (us being the Church body). Below you can view my design thinking process and logo progression.
The following pictures depict information boards I created. Given the creative freedom that I was, I developed one poster more traditionally, with muted colors and decorative detail inspired by the inside of the Church. The following month's board I experimented with a more modern look, with bright colors and geometric shapes. While I was not given much direction with these, each board focused on various aspects of the Eucharist, and educated viewers on how to recognize the Real Presence in daily life.
