With an assist from my talented wife, I've created a Bible Design Blog logo, which I've incorporated into a new banner for the site. One of my goals is to dress the place up a little. But don't expect a whole lot just yet. The time I can devote to the site will go mainly into writing, as always. When I can, though, I'll introduce an upgrade or two. Meanwhile, here's the logo:
Trying to think of a quintessential image, something that sums up the unique contribution of Bible Design Blog, the best I could come up with is Bible Yoga. So there you go...
I guess we'll just have to assume that the Bible in question is a single-column setting.

Mark,
I much prefer the old banner to this new one. The previous logo was much cleaner and more refined. The search for the perfect bible banner continues. Ha!

Mark, from the post above it looks like you have your first OLO (Old Logo Onlyist).

Mark, your wife's work looks great. However, to be consistent with your previously stated personal preferences, the three thick ribbons should be gold, and the black binding should have a nicely detailed grain pattern we'd expect to see on highland goatskin. Oh, and since the logo is so red, I guess you'll now have to show more love and respect for red lettered editions in the future. Seriously though, thank you again for all your consistent and dedicated efforts with this blog.

Mark, my only comment is that the book spine in your wife's logo looks like it could be a dreaded side-stitched binding. I think you need an inner spine doing this:

as in a sewn-through-the-signatures binding!

Mark, one upgrade I'd sure appreciate is a longer list of "Recent Comments". It's easy for comments to drop off my radar screen when there's only 10. There can be more than 10 comments here in an hour!
What would be ideal is a list of every thread that's ever been started here with a column listing the date/time of the last comment in each of those threads. And if you could then sort by the "last comment" date, it would make it easy to stay current on all the great comments/questions that occur here.

Hello there, I'm not here to judge or offend anyone or the bible. Was the Triqueta Logo ever part of the bible? I heard it was a satanic logo. And that in the book of Acts, it clearly states that symbolism was forbidden. :( Just want to know if it was officially removed. As there are many people saying that the NKJV translation omitted and removed words from the KJV. :( Thank you. Just want to clear up some doubts. I am a christian, but I was just asking. NO OFFENSE! :C

Dear Faith,
It sounds like you've been around some "King James Version Only" folks. We try to avoid those issues on this blog. But I'll quickly note that it's not exactly the majority view of Christendom. I'd suggest you google "KJVO" for more info. The topic even has a Wikipedia entry!
