We are a church looking to create a design for our 2025 theme. Our theme is "United In...". We need a dynamic image that can express unity in various ways. 

The image does not need to be necessarily religious. For example, a cord of 3 strands and a bundle of sticks can be creative, clever, and symbolic ways to communicate being united with one another. 

We want the design to be simple and clean, but also something that can be worn on a T-shirt by both men and women. This design will also be for our signage, invitations, and banners.

Lastly, the name of our church is Valley Christian, therefore including the initials "VC" somewhere in the design would be ideal. We are also located in Las Vegas if that helps with the creative process. Not a high priority, but if it works to include "2025" that would also be desired.

IMPORTANT: We've been noticing a lot of submissions that are primarily highlighting the text "VC", "Valley Christian", or "2025". Although we want this text to be present to a minimal degree, we moreso want to highlight whatever symbolic image for "unity". Please be creative as much as possible. We are located in Vegas so explore using details such as mountains or cityscape. We want designs that seem challenging for the average designer, which means that it should include more than just text. Thank you!!

UPDATE: One of the suggestions from our team was to potentially explore any ideas relating to the style of word clouds. Where one letter actually is formed by multiple words. See attachment. If you were to explore this approach you could use words relating to "unity" such as united in love, friendship, lordship, community, etc.
