Logo for First Baptist Church of Oviedo
Every client has a unique set of goals and needs. First Baptist Church of Oviedo has history in its community. It’s been established for many years and has multiple campuses. They were looking to reflect how much the church dynamics had grown over the years.
The most crucial change would be their name, from the established First Baptist Church of Oviedo as it no longer reflected the dynamics of the community. Their current and new name is, CrossLife Church.

We continued with a full rebrand and brand guide. CrossLife Church gave us a unique opportunity and challenge. They have a diverse congregation with two separate services which target fully different age groups. Our challenge was to create a timeless brand that can reach multiple demographics with the church and the community. Integrating new aspects to reflect this growing community while at the same time honoring the history of its place in the area.

The end result was a great re launch this past summer for both of their campuses!

Arise Church is a church plant in the Orlando area. They contacted us because there were in need of a fresh new look for their church.
They reached out to us because they recognized several areas in which their church needed guidance and coaching. One was the website, another was their logo and the last was an effective social media plan.
- A re-brand to reflect church culture better, place pertinent information upfront, clarify ministries and groups.
- Print Of banners and signs.
- Social Media posts
This client was set up with a fresh and iconic rebrand and new signage. Their new brand fit in perfectly with their demographic and incredible new location. We visited Arise Church and are so happy with the results as they are as well!

The importance of having a brand is important for not only businesses but churches. Just as businesses need to refresh their logo and tagline, so do churches. Here are three reasons that churches need to rebrand themselves. A brand is a way to communicate who you are and convey your message. Here are three reasons why a church may need to rebrand.
1- Reestablish yourself in the community. This may be needed due to a change in leadership and or congregation. By rebranding or even creating a brand from scratch allows for people to rediscover or discover the church for the first time.
2- Define Your Tagline- A tagline is part of your brand. This sums up your brand in an easy sentence. This is what we created for our client CrossLife Church “Living a Life that Matters”. A simple sentence that encompasses the identity of this church. This allows for people to state what this church is about in a simple, eloquent sentence. It helps to tie in all aspects of life this client hopes to encompass in every area of ministry.

3- A New Logo– A simple design that continues to exemplify the brand and tagline. Logos are usually associated with a business but churches need them as well. Having a recognizable logo continues the work of establishing your church in the community. A logo and the color scheme that goes is easy to place on shirts, ties in with the website and cements how to identify your church in the minds of the community.

Here at AT Studios we are more than simply a design company. Our vision is to guide your company to navigate these marketing waters. We begin with you, a conversation to understand who you are and what your particular needs we can meet. From here we create your brand, website and social media strategy.
We are so excited to launch our very own wordpress template designed specially for churches!
Why have we done this? In the last few months the bulk of our clientele have been churches looking to either rebrand themselves or launch a new church. After looking at what templates were offered currently on WordPress, it became clear there was a unique need not being met.
We created a template that we believe meets these needs. This template is user friendly for both those familiar with using WordPress and those who are new to it. It’s fully customizable and user friendly. This will enable any user to easily adapt it for their needs. Making this easy and uncomplicated was essential for us.
As we create your web site, we also work with you to help you understand how it works. Why it is so important to create a brand that is easy to identify as well as using social media. In understanding who you are we are able to tailor a social media and blogging strategy to fit your needs.
It would be easy to design your web site and leave it at that. But this is not our mission. Our mission is to enable your business or church to succeed in the web world.

It may be surprising that marketing techniques used in business can also be applied to churches. But this should not. Marketing is used to reach people. Churches are made up of community of people. However, they need to know to about the church.
Here are our six techniques
1- Identity– An identity is important for businesses and so it is for churches. Churches can vary in their identities and without a strong sense of one, the rest does not matter.
2- Tag Line– what makes you remember a product or place? Chances are it is a great tagline. Creating one for a church speaks to its identity, summing it up in brief phrase. This is what we came up with for our most recent client Cross Life.
3- Web Design– A great website is essential. It is often the first encounter with the church or business. It has to encompass the identity and tagline. Along with being easy to navigate and connect.
4- Social Media– Using social media is the easiest way to connect to others. Having a good landing page is important to get the message out there. This cements the identity and tagline in the mind of your targeted audience.
5-Promotion- Promoting of sermon series. We find churches go all out about promoting events but do not set aside a budget to promote new sermon series. The right marketing strategy is key to “selling” your product.
6- Signage– Lastly we have signage. This ties in everything, branding, logo, identity and tagline. One glance and it is known exactly where they are or should go to. Check out our posts on “is your church ready for Easter” where we address things such as proper signage.
All these techniques come together to send the message of your church. We can help your church or ministry navigate these.
Contact us at Info@atstudios.co and we can have a chat.
I will also be teaching at a couple of conferences in October click on the link below and to connect and learn more!
Would love to see you there!!
