I noticed recently that several mission organizations have quietly begun rebranding themselves, starting with new organizational logos. HCJB rebranded themselves back in January 2007, and this is something we’ve discussed doing at SIM off an on over the past few years. So the topic is of interest to me.
I just wanted to share some of these logo redesigns as examples of what other mission orgs are doing right now and to invite your feedback—what do you like? what do you dislike? is now a good time for organizations to pursue re-branding? or would it be a mistake of Tropicana proportions?
Here are the logos:

CauseWired: Raising Money vs. Raising Awareness

CauseWired: You Are What You Support?
One of the significant insights in Tom Watson’s book, CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World, is the shift toward the causes a person supports becoming more and more a part of that person’s online (and offline?) identity.

CauseWired: What is a Cause vs. a “Flash Cause”?
In his book CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World, Tom Watson explains: “To me, causes are situations that motivate people to try to change some part of the status quo; causes are, by definition, progressive. They are what drive people to seek change. ... Then there are flash causes—quick ...
CauseWired: What is “the Largest Online Lab for Change”?
In the introduction to CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World, Tom Watson writes: “[This] book is about large numbers of users, what they do online, and how they are changing the relationship between communications and causes. To me, Facebook is incredibly valuable as the largest online lab for these ...
CauseWired: An Introduction
Last fall, I received an advance copy of Tom Watson’s book CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World. As the back cover explains, CauseWired is “the first book to track the massive societal impact on causes presented on today’s online social networks.” Anyone interested in finding out how to ...
“We Are All Witnesses”
I admit, I'm not a huge professional basketball fan, and I don't talk about basketball on this blog, well, ever because it doesn't usually relate to the topic of kingdom journalism. (I used to play basketball regularly with John Piper, though, so that might have to be another blog post ...
“What God Has Done”: Soundbytes from SIM’s Global Leaders Gathering
In March, I had the privilege of participating in SIM's Global Leaders Gathering in Kenya attended by 150+ men and women from all over the world. I just want to share a few "soundbytes" from the conference as conversation starters/food for thought. Please feel free to share your thoughts/feedback in ...
The Gospel is …
"Overheard" on Twitter today (and just had to pass this along for further thought/reflection): "The gospel is constituted by the mighty acts of God in history for the liberation of the cosmos." —Karl Barth At some point, I'm going to do a deeper study of this "mighty acts" refrain in Scripture.
