Christmas Color Palettes and Fonts

Unless you’re the exception to the norm, your church or ministry is probably on the verge of planning Christmas.

I’ve made some color palettes, researched a little on font choices, and hope they will help alleviate some headaches as you’re getting in gear for Christmas this year.

Color Palettes

In my travels, throughout this week, I took a few pictures of colors that stuck out to me while browsing through Christmas decorations, and even a stop to the coffee shop.

I think with the right textures, especially felt, these can really make your design pop.  I know there isn’t a lot of variation.  I apologize — the blue palettes didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to.

    Adobe Caslon Pro Italic is another hot font for Christmas. Dafont has something similar called The Last Font I’m Wasting On You

    thanks - I was just going to start looking for that kind of stuff!!!

    And, I personally like this color scheme, and think it could be a great addition to the above. It’s not my work, I found it on flickr church marketing lab by @professr
