Reforming Alliance Logo
The Reforming Alliance within the UCA has to develop a RA logo.
The purpose of the logo is to establish a strong identity that will attract new members and encourage existing ones; build familiarity and trustworthiness in people's thinking and increase awareness of the Reforming Alliance.
The logo is available to Reforming Alliance Congregations for use on church signs, newsletters, letterheads etc. There are four options for the use of the Reforming Alliance logo, the traditional UCA logo and a unique congregational logo.
A member congregation can use the Reforming Alliance logo exclusively.
A member congregation can co-badge using the Reforming Alliance logo and the traditional UCA logo together.
A member congregation can continue to use the traditional UCA logo without the Reforming Alliance logo.
If a member congregation already has their own unique logo, it is recommended that the congregation continue using their own unique logo.
The logo is available for download from the website or ordered on CD in a variety of formats.
The logo can be accompanied by the following statements.
For example: if the Reforming Alliance is on the church sign then the following options are recommended:
"A Congregation Supporting the Reforming Alliance within the Uniting Church in Australia."
"A Reforming Alliance Congregation within the Uniting Church"
"A Member of the Reforming Alliance"
