All-Saints Shield Logo
The meaning of All-Saints Logo
The logo has many parts. The gold crown refers to the Sanctity, the gold scrolls with the red inscription Sanctus alludes to the chant of the redeemer, “Holy, Holy, Holy”. The silver grey on the left half of the field indicated the brightness of the Heavenly life in contrast to the black right half and the trials of the earthly life. It has been placed on a shield to refer to God as our shield and defender. (Psalm 84:9 is one of many passages referring to God as our Shield: “Behold, O God our Shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.”)
For further explanation on the shield shape refer to Hymn 288
O worship the King, All glorious above, O gratefully sing God’s power and God’s love;
Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, And girded with praise.
“O Worship the King” draws upon the splendor of 19th-century monarchy as a metaphor for the magnificence of the Almighty. Attributes of an earthly monarch are magnified to communicate the characteristics of the King of kings—one who by nature cannot be described.
