Summer is a big moment for churches that often doesn’t get as much attention as it should. People are looking for community, seeking belonging, and you have the chance to invite people into how God is moving in your church. Whether you’re promoting a series, an event, or just showing your church is alive and active, finding the right look can be the difference between someone staying home and stepping into your community. These moodboards are designed to help you land on a style that fits your church and connects with the people you’re trying to reach.
Illustrative & Icon-Driven
This style puts custom illustrations, graphic characters, and hand-drawn icons at the center of the design. The imagery does the storytelling, and the result feels distinct, intentional, and full of personality. If you want a visual representation of the joy that’s felt in your church, we love this style for you!
How to get this look:
- Flat vector icons or illustrated characters
- Warm, saturated color palettes
- Grid or tile-style layouts
- Bold, bubbly or retro-rounded typography
- Illustrated overlays on photography
Clean & Minimal
This style leads with strong typography and intentional use of space. The restraint might feel simple to some, but it makes a point. Every element is thoughtful, showing people that you’re not adding any fluff to how you present yourself because your community of faith speaks for itself.
How to get this look:
- Ultra-bold display fonts as the hero
- Heavy negative space
- Simple geometric shapes as anchors
- Restrained 2–3 color palette
- Subtle paper or film grain texture

Collage & Photo Layered
Layering real photography with graphic elements and mixed-media textures gives this style a handmade, lived-in quality. It feels personal and community-rooted, like something your people would recognize themselves in.
How to get this look:
- Real photography as the design foundation
- Polaroid frames or film strip borders
- Layered graphic shapes and bold background color
- Mixed typography (handwritten + display)
- Textured details like tape, torn edges, or crinkled paper
Bright & Bold
Maximum color energy and type that demands attention. This style is unapologetically loud, and it draws people in. It’s one of the most eye-catching looks you can put in someone’s feed, and it has the kind of personality that’s hard to ignore.
How to get this look:
- Ultra-saturated, high-contrast color combinations
- Oversized typography that fills or bleeds the frame
- Repeated stacked text as a background texture
- Photography colliding with bold color blocks
- Layered elements with strong visual rhythm
Vintage & Retro
Worn textures, aged color palettes, and throwback type treatments that feel warm and familiar without feeling dated. This style has a staying power that a lot of trends don’t. People love it because it feels human.
How to get this look:
- Distressed or aged textures (denim, iron-on, faded print)
- Film photography aesthetics with light leaks and grain
- Retro graphic elements (starbursts, script, oval badges)
- Muted, warm color palettes (rust, mustard, teal, cream)
- Outlined or shadow lettering with a worn-in feel
