When I started my new job as co-ordinating chaplain at Northumbria University, I inherited a strapline for the chaplaincy; an old favourite Jewish saying: "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." There was a simple drawing of a lighted candle that tended to do duty as a kind of logo. While trawling through the university's archive of approved images for publicity I came across the one that this one is based on. It has now been made into a large screen-poster for standing behind tables when we do fairs, induction events and the like. I really like it because it focuses visually on the lighting rather than the candle, which feels more at the heart of the saying. And also, the image is lush.
