our Visual Identity - the visuals of st. john neumann
A church is more than walls and windows—it’s a beacon of faith, a gathering of hearts, a story of transformation.
And just like our mission grows, so does the way we express it.
Our visual identity is a reflection of who we are: rooted in tradition, inspired by renewal, and centered on Christ.
From the awe-inspiring golden dome that lifts our eyes to heaven to the intricate mosaics that tell the story of salvation, every detail of St. John Neumann speaks of faith, beauty, and reverence. The rich symbolism of our sacred art and visual design is a living testament to our Catholic faith, calling us to worship, to serve, and to go forth as disciples.
Our original Logo: A Legacy of Faith
Our original logo was born out of the early days of St. John Neumann Catholic Church—a time of building, both physically and spiritually. The design, with its stone-formed cross and rough-hewn lettering, reflected our parish’s foundation: a community coming together, laying down the bricks of faith, and creating something lasting.
The encircling stones symbolized the unity of our parishioners, each one a vital piece of the church’s growth. It was a reminder that we were a church built on faith, perseverance, and the hands of many who helped shape our home.
This logo carried us through many years of expansion, challenges, and milestones, becoming a familiar symbol of who we were for the Austin/Westlake area.
A New Mission, A New Look
As St. John Neumann Catholic Church steps into a new era of mission and renewal, our new logo reflects the heart of who we are called to be—a beacon of light drawing people home. Inspired by Divine Renovation, we are embracing our mission with fresh energy, focusing on welcoming, transforming, and sending disciples into the world.
At the center of this identity is the radiant golden cross, shining brightly to represent Christ’s light—the very light we are called to reflect in our lives. This cross is not just a symbol but an invitation, calling all who seek faith, healing, and belonging. Surrounding it is a burst of golden rays, reminding us that our parish is a guiding light in the community and beyond, a place where people can encounter the love of God and be sent forth to share it.
The deep blue lettering speaks of trust, faith, and the peace of Christ, grounding us in the presence of God. These colors are not just design choices—they are intentional. They connect to the sacred blue and gold of our church dome, linking the beauty of our worship space to the mission we live every day.
This logo is more than a design—it is a part of our calling. It proclaims our commitment to being a light in the world, drawing people home to Christ. It represents a parish that is alive, growing, and ready to embrace the future with unshakable faith.
A new look, a renewed mission, and a beacon of light shining for all.
