It Makes Sense Sometimes

I said that I would whisk up a few buttons for COIN in 125×125, traditional 468×60 banner and 160×600 skyscraper formats. Here they are.

Background

The word or initials “COIN” on a website perhaps don’t make clear what COIN is about (a reminder that the church is after your money, perhaps?); of itself the word or acronym “COIN” means nothing to people who do not know us already. Since it is the various activities (especially the lists) that are the heart of COIN, I have used “Christians on the Internet” or “COIN <name of activity>” to give extra information.

These are the designs I have come up with, using a “stained glass” theme. I’d like some extra modern images in there, but there’s room for others to do their own versions (the more the merrier imho) - I’ll make the templates available of course. All photos are Creative Commons Licenses.

125×125 Buttons

COIN as a whole 1 - One of the “montage” windows from the Chapel of Industry in Coventry Cathedral.

COIN as a whole 2 - Baptistery Window at Coventry Cathedral.

COIN as a whole 3 - “Conversational” Last Supper.

COIN Music List - “Simon Rattle”-like angel playing a fiddle.

COIN Cofe 2020 List - Thoughtful looking owl.

COIN Technical List - Jesus working at carpentry (obviously).

COIN General List - Same last supper as above.

COIN Youthwork List - Jesus in the Temple ticking his parents off for worrying.

COIN Preaching List - A splendid temperance preacher with a bow-tie preaching in a pub (perhaps needs something more ecclesiastical as an alternative).

COIN Liturgy List - Prayer book (I struggled with this one - have a good photo with Latin in the book, but it needs a sanity check on the translation.

Skyscrapers

For both COIN as a whole, and also for the General List: Last Supper looking along the table. This is a window in Nottingham RC Cathedral.
