SERIES BRANDING: REVELATION
“The opening words of John are “The (apocalypse) revelation of Jesus Christ.” Apocalypse = unveiling. Literally the unveiling of Jesus Christ. Revelation is a vision, a prophecy, a reminder that things are not as they seem, that Jesus is on his throne, that his church is victorious.” - Pastor Jim Essian
Developing the Branding and Environment for Revelation was not an easy one. I’ve said a few times to friends that I just felt so “uninspired” and like I was racing the clock more than chasing a spark. Inspiration is a funny thing. With over 20 years of creative work under my belt I still fall into the trap of thinking inspiration is a lightbulb or eureka moment, but I know good and well sometimes it’s after the fact that you notice the light has already been on. This project was like that.
The key ingredients for me were the revealing of Christ and the reality of his Kingdom, and the multi-dimensional, multi-faceted imagery of the book. So here is what I found… Revelation is not a reveal like a surprise announcement or a pull-back of a curtain. It’s more like a sunrise. The sun was always there, it’s just bringing light to the way we see the world and ourselves in it. So let this series do just that, open your eyes to see the glory of Christ, his kingdom, and the light in which we are now to live.
