Registered trademark of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Can there be any stronger symbol of Christian identity than the cross? Surely it is symbolic of the despair and grief of sin. Yet as an empty cross, it is symbolic of hope, joy, and promise that God himself suffered and overcame the wages of sin through Jesus Christ. The logo for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod appropriately continues the symbolism of the cross. Three crosses are yet one cross, recalling the "Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity" confessed in the Athanasian Creed.
