Why is the cross in the CFCA logo slanted?

We’ve answered some questions about the CFCA logo in an earlier “Ask Sponsor Services” post, but one has come up recently that we’d like to explore.

Paul Pearce, director of global strategy at CFCA, explained another aspect of the logo at a recent CFCA board meeting.

“The cross in the logo is slanted,” he said, “because it’s being carried.”

Just as Simon of Cyrene helped Christ carry the cross at Golgotha, sponsors and sponsored friends are carrying one another’s burdens on an ongoing basis. Read more

Ask Sponsor ServicesQ. What does CFCAís logo represent?

A. CFCAís logo is a graphic representation of our core values and beliefs. The key features are the cross, two people with outstretched arms on an equal plane, and the colors green, blue and brown.

The cross illustrates that we see Christ in one another, carry each otherís burdens and serve one another. The two figures primarily represent a sponsored person and his or her sponsor. They are depicted on an equal horizontal plane to indicate relationships of mutual respect, and are shown looking at each other to signify recognition of dignity and respect.

The green, blue and brown colors represent our planet and environment because we are part of Godís creation and we promote respect for the natural world. The circular shape depicts an energy and dynamism in the CFCA community, which is growing and evolving. Each member is invited into a process of ongoing growth, which helps remove obstacles in each personís pursuit of his or her potential.
