We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

A Logo for the Next General Assembly

Logo for the 220th General Assembly
The 220th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) will meet in Pittsburgh, beginning June 30th 2011.  The logo on the left is the official one for the assembly.  According to the news release unveiling the logo, "The logo is a simple, circular image designed to be functional and traditional. It will be the main image associated with the assembly and can be used in a variety of applications, from the Web to email signatures to advertising banners to book bags and flashlights. It is designed to be easily recognizable and attractive, and to reflect Pittsburgh, the host city for the assembly, in a way that lifts up the Presbyterian presence and influence in the city." There are also two more elaborate logos announced in the same news release (here).

Past assemblies have also had their own logos.  If you're intrested, you can view the 2010 logo (here).
