When I still attended St. Andrews Parish United Methodist Church, I was a member of the youth praise band. The band started with the most rock-n-roll of names: "Youth Praise Band." This small group eventually transformed into the 6-member group known affectionately as "4½ Dudes." Finally, after a single performance, the band was renamed "Basilica." This name was chosen for (officially) its significance in the history of the Christian church and (unofficially) the semblance to Metallica. Indeed, the name was probably too metal for the group it represented, but it served the band well for several years.

When I arrived at Cokesbury, several members of Basilica followed, leaving the remaining members of the group to inexplicably rename themselves "Purple Dog." I don't understand it, but to each their own. The members who arrived at Cokesbury decided to form a newer band, featuring more heavy and electrified music. The new band's name: "Righteous Indignation"

Like Basilica's before it, Righteous Indignation's logo was designed by yours truly. For this logo design, I wanted the text to be easily visible but unclean; a teenage rock band should not have a well-polished logo like the one I designed for the church at large. The colors are loud, the text is vibrant, and (to appease Joshua) a cross is featured prominently.

It may not be the most elegant logo or the most enduring word mark, but it should serve the group well for now. Comments and criticism are appreciated.

Update (June 1): For comparison, the logo of "Basilica" been added.
