And the winners are...

 

50th Anniversary banner choices.

 

Option # 1: "St. Michael was the leader of celestial armies, and armies of angels always make me think of their long trumpets, which are a great, simple image. The St. Michael's cross is usually depicted in red and silver (although usually as a red cross on a silver field)"

 

 

 

50th Anniversary Frontal choices

 

Option #3

 

"This design uses repetitions of the St. Michael's cross in a range of green tones to represent the "cloud of witnesses" who have contributed so much to the history of St. Michael's and those who continue to do so. The central cross is surrounded by a gold circle. The final design is reminiscent of an iconic Eames fabric that was in use about the time your church was designed and built."
