Our new website called The Faithful Reader seeks to help Christian pastors and laypeople sustain a life of literary reading. We want to make sure that people of faith are able to discover fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that challenges and inspires them. We need a logo that establishes credibility as a source. For our market, this will mean something that is hip, cool, and fun to share on social media. I am picturing something that uses a book as a primary icon, perhaps in a vintage style, with nods to either etching (lots of hatching) or medieval illumination (calligraphy, etc.). Probably black and white, but maybe some minimal use of color.

Requirements
Must have
- Simple, clear design (logo with name) that is easy to apply as a website header. A visual logo that is easy to scale for a social media icon.
Nice to have
- I like the idea of bringing together literary iconography with religious iconography. Obvious connections here would be woodcut or engraving style illustrations (such as from early printing presses) or medieval illuminated texts (such as those copied by monks. But it can't be kitschy or so 'Christian' that it would repulse anyone just looking for a book review.
Should not have
- Nothing sappy or overly religious. It has to be cool and 'vintage' to appeal to young intellectual pastors, students, etc.
