The Cathedral Logo


There is a deeper meaning behind the new logo of Unbroken Light shown above.  The logo is a design based off of the St. Denis Cathedral in France.  It is widely recognized as the first cathedral ever built using Gothic architecture back in 1144.  The architect, Abbot Suger, used the latin term "Lux Continua" for his design.  This phrase is where our band's name comes from as it means "Unbroken Light".  Abbot Suger wanted his cathedral to defy gravity and let so much light in that it would immediately bring your eyes and mind towards heaven.  On its doorway is inscribed:

"Marvel not at the gold and expense but at the craftsmanship of the work.  The noble work is bright, but, being nobly bright, the work should brighten the minds, allowing them to travel through the lights to the true light, where Christ is the true door."    - Abbot Suger

Our mission is similar:  To make music that glorifies God and points others directly to Him.  My prayer and hope is that through our music and our lives, we are able to truly accomplish that goal.

Blessings,
