Mex-i-Kids logo

While living in Edinburgh we were incredibly blessed by our friendship with Heather. God has truely gifted Heather in many ways. A while back we asked her to draw us up a logo and it is just perfect for the work of Mex-i-Kids. We also have a new logo for MEFI which is just being finalised.

Here are some of the thoughts behind the Mex-i-Kids logo from Heather...

I was going to have 2 large people (ie missionaries) on the outside with a small person (child) in the middle. Then thought a bit ... height shouldn't exclude help! So put them all similar in height. The other reason for not making a tiny person in the middle is that in value, all are equal before God - just that those on the outside have the means to help ...
That's were the hand holding came in ... support and love shown to each other. I really liked the way the 2 hearts developed between the 3 little people. Side by side offering genuine care and heart/emotional support to each other.
They're paper cut-out people ... pretty flimsy and fragile. Just thinking about the children you are working with ... that's what we are when it comes down to it. Pretty fragile people needing God's strength and support to become whole.
The colours - the Mexican flag ... but wanted the white in the middle anyway ... to signify innocence - now I know we're not innocent, but when you consider the wrecked lives of little children ... one of the biggest tragedies is the loss of innocence and the enforced 'maturity'. I guess this coupled with the prayer, "restore to us the years that the locust has eaten" ... and the Biblical themes that God comes to cleanse, clean, purify and make innocent/without blame before Him in love ... all of this made me want white in the middle. It's perfect that that tied in with the flag's colours.
It's a simple, clean, child-friendly logo. It is Mexican :o) There is immediate ownership of it - not some import of goodness from afar, but a mission entirely focussed on Mexican children.
So that's a little background! It speaks of togetherness, kindness, forgiveness, help and journeying together with a focus on Christ's love, kindness, forgiveness, help etc through the cross.

So there it is. We hope you like it!
