With Wordle, you can create really cool word clouds for your ministry like the one above. Since it is a Java Applet, getting it to be an image file (.jpg or .gif) is a bit difficult, but here’s what I did.

1. Create the Wordle
2. Print it as a PDF
3. Open the PDF and use the snapshot tool to copy the area you want to use
4. Paste the copied area into Publisher or graphics editing program
5. Save the copied picture as a .jpg or .gif using, right click–>Save As Picture

Happy Wordling!

Last Wednesday, Free CM Stuff gave away one free ministry logo design courtesy of Chris Sykes. You can find that post, as well as more about Chris here. The logo above is from Pastor Andy Robinson, who by the looks of the logo, is in desperate need of a redesign. That logo was either hand drawn in the 70′s or copied out of a clip art book found behind a cart in the resource room! Andy, you desperately need a new logo and Chris can get you rolling. Congrats.

For those of you out there who would like a few resources for creating your own logo, here are some sites that I would tell you to check out (I have not personally used any of these so they do not come with my specific recommendation):

1. Logoease
2. Cool Text
3. Xara 3D
4. Free Logo Maker
