Logo for New Rock Band - fit for a t-shirt that you would want to wear!

Forged By Faith

We are a Christian Worship Band providing ministry & services for people with addiction issues or have been previously incarcerated. We perform rock music; both secular and gospel. We are looking for a brand that speaks more to the Rock audience than to the Christian audience.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Dark neutrals: Formality, mystery, exclusivity and luxury.
Reds: Energy, action, passion and love.
Let designers make suggestions:

We think that we would like to incorporate and an old blacksmith's anvil in the design. But are open to other ideas as well. The design initially needs to have the name Forged By Faith in it since we are new, but eventually would be able to be adjusted where the image can stand alone. We are interested in a design or two incorporating "FXF" in it as an abbreviation for the band name in the future. It is a priority that the logo will look good on hats, t-shirts, banners, posters, stickers and signs. We lean to more of a "blue collar" look and feel for our audience.
