Trinity Logo - Painter Edition

Tim Gierschick commented on the artworks included in my last post about the Trinity Christian College logo that, “in your lineup of minimalism I’d add the beautiful post-and-lintel etchings of Brice Marden.” So right, Tim. I used all sculptors because that’s my thang, but there’s plenty to go around in painting. Check out Tim’s blog where he posts a weekly short essay about a work of art at his place of work, the Barnes Foundation. They’re gems.

Regarding the logo’s uniqueness among Christian colleges, there was a recent college president that apparently disliked the logo, and added a more traditional college seal to the school’s graphic representations, but the three-bar logo is the most common, and seems to be the most easily identifiable with the school… In case you missed it, I’ve included it again below, followed by some painters. I’m not going to identify the specific titles of the work, but I’ll put the artist’s name as a main heading.
