Modern Logo for Non-Profit

I need a fresh, modern-looking logo that captures who we are as “The City Gate.” Our full mission statement — “To Reclaim, Restore, and Rebuild Lost and Broken Lives"
Where people in need meet people who care.” — must appear with the name.

Style & mood
• Modern and sleek aesthetic
• Black paired with either gold or silver to convey warmth and dignity

Key visual idea
The logo should reference “The City Gate” from the Bible. This could be a stylised gate silhouette or an abstract gateway shape that immediately signals welcome and restoration. I’m open to creative interpretations as long as the symbol remains clear and contemporary.

What I’d like delivered
• 2–3 initial concepts showing different treatments of the gate motif
• Revisions on the chosen concept until the typography, colours, and layout feel balanced
• Final files in editable vector format (AI or SVG) plus high-res PNG and JPG on transparent, black, and white backgrounds
• A quick brand guide outlining fonts, colour codes, and usage tips

I’m happy to answer questions about scripture references or visual direction as you iterate. Let’s create a logo that speaks hope and restoration at first glance.
