From Pencil to Digital

Tyler, Jordan and myself are trying to recover from the "Black Plague of Death" this week here in Lubbock while Regina has managed to stay healthy. Regina told us that it must be those pre-natal vitamins her Doctor has her on that spared her the plague and that we all should start taking them. SMILE I'm afraid that the boys and I are rather convinced that those are for new mommies and we should stick to our Freddy Flinstones. LOL We are looking forward to being at our home church for the first time in four years this Sunday and are currently working on getting out Christmas packets to our churches. The boys have been stuck inside and have been helping us out a lot. The packets are filled with DVD's, Christmas cards and new literature on the Dominican Republic - our re-vamped logo is once again on just about everything. This logo believe it or not started out rather simply - Regina and I were at my father-n-law's camp in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1999 brainstorming with Pastor Jose Arnaldo (currently a associate at Kelview Heights in Midland and President of the Hispanic BBF here in the States) on some logo ideas and Regina and Jose drew up several in less than a hour. After camp Luis Roverssi (he does our web page) told us it would be a good idea if we had some sort of logo for our ministry in Cuba and we took out those ideas and picked this one. We ran it by Bro. Barnes who spoofed it up a bit (he is rather artistic) and Luis and Regina went down to MGI Graphics in San Jose and worked together with them on light boards to turn this idea into a color illustrator document so that we could use it across many different platforms. Currently in its compressed JPEG form we have integrated this into our webpage (Dreamweaver), video (FLASH), professional print jobs (Photoshop) and several other medias and it all started as a simple pencil drawing at a Christian camp in Central America.
