I was recently made an editor for a newsletter called SAUCI Times (Spiritual Alliance <School Initials>). It's a newsletter where people from all faiths on campus submit their work. One thing I noticed about it was that it lacked a graphical logo. For some odd reason, my immediately thought was a cup of tea, perhaps because of "saucer." Though I realized that there has to be a better idea out there somewhere (please, no condiment bottles for suggestions. I've had that on multi-occasions, this is an intellectual and deep piece of work).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

They didn't have any.

Oh. Sweet.

I like UCI a lot. I wanted to get into UCLA, but they don't like NorCal folk as much. I didn't like the schools up north, and went t UCI because they offered me a massive scholarship.

I envision something incredible simple in the graphic department for this. Faith is a pretty abstract concept to convey graphically, since you're talking all denominations. A book might be the only thing symbolic of the majority of faiths.

For this reason, I am imagining something like a few faces; either real images spliced together somehow, one group of people of diverse cultures, or an abstract of a few different faces (you know, black and white outlined, one white with black outlines, one black with white outlines). The type could have some class, all capitals with the first letter of each word larger. Maybe have a border around the whole thing one color (or black if monochrome) with black/colored text for Spiritual Alliance, then inverted for the UCI logo (white text inside a colored/black box.

BTW, how do you like UCI? Is it still Under Construction Indefinitely?

Ahaha. Oh yes. They made like, ten new buildings. Are you an alum? At first I wasn't use to it because people here felt kind of shallow and "glam"-my if you get my drift. It was hard adjusting because I am use to laid-back Norcal. Though if you dig deeper you will always find a group of folks you can get along with.

My wife is; she did her undergrad there. I very much remember the construction, though, and the outrageous cost of a parking pass despite the fact that the parking lot closest to your building was, imagine that, closed for construction.

Didn't notice the "glam" factor, but then again I was raised in SoCal so I might be de-sensitized.

Ah. What year was she? Parking went up like hell. It is now like, 1000 a year depending where you park, AND there are zones so you can only park at certain places

Class of 06 I think. I remember it being in the 500's, but I can't recall if that was for a year or a semester. I'd have to ask her.

Oh yeah, they opened a lot since then. We have like, five new buildings this year alone, including a large multi-story parking structure near the ARC.

Hmm, perhaps a logo with a cup of tea on a saucer... with small sun-objects coming up as steam? Or perhaps the steam creates the image of many faces, resembling S.F.LaVille's suggestion?
