Branding, the new Logo and the CongregationalistThe CF Council when it met in November agreed to adopt the new logo and branding for all CF National materials and publications. They however stressed that the existing logo remains immensely valued and entirely appropriate for those churches, areas and individuals who wish to continue to use it. The existing President’s medallion will remain and the possibility of new additional pin is being sought. The recognition and celebration of both the existing and new logos will form a significant moment within the 2012 Assembly.
