The Meaning Behind the Coptic Sermons Logo

Every element of the Coptic Sermons logo was intentionally designed to reflect our mission: to proclaim the Orthodox faith with clarity, tradition, and love.

The Cross with Rays & The Word “COPTIC”

At the logo’s center stands the Cross of Christ, symbolizing the foundation of our faith, salvation, and preaching.

The rays shining from the Cross represent the light of the Gospel spreading throughout the world and echo our call to “Let your light so shine before men” (Matthew 5:16).

This radiant Cross symbolizes Christ’s victory over sin and death and is the center of every Orthodox sermon—a message of hope, truth, and life.

The word “COPTIC” is rendered in bold navy blue, representing:

  • Depth and reverence of the Orthodox tradition
  • The timeless faith passed down through the apostles and the desert fathers
  • Wisdom and authority, rooted in the historic Coptic Church
  • The “T” in “COPTIC” is designed as a cross, signifying that everything we teach, write, and proclaim flows from the Cross.

The Quill & Scroll & The Word “SERMONS”

To the right of the logo is a scroll with a quill, symbolizing the ancient and continuing work of preaching, writing, and preserving sacred truth. It represents the voice of the Church—its fathers, preachers, and faithful teachers—who have written sermons, commentaries, and exhortations throughout the centuries.

The quill also reminds us that every sermon is an act of worship, written in prayer and delivered with humility. The color of the quill is earthy brown, a nod to the humility and humanity of those called to preach, while the parchment scroll represents the written Word handed down through tradition and Scripture.

“SERMONS” is written in solid black, anchoring the logo. It represents the weight and seriousness of the Word of God and reminds us that sermons are not just words—but living truths meant to transform lives. The black contrasts with the light of the Cross above, drawing the eye upward and symbolizing the journey from darkness to light.
