Foreknown

How do you craft a brand identity inspired by a legacy that has so deeply impacted global missions? We were incredibly honored to develop the brand identity and website for the Paton Society, an organization inspired by the life of John Paton and committed to supporting like-minded missionary teams in church planting among unreached people groups. The brand identity centers on a signature logo that mimics Paton’s own handwriting, paired with a non-traditional graphite seal system. These seals pay tribute to his missionary work by weaving together the flags of Scotland and Vanuatu, island motifs, his writing pen, and his favorite passage, Matthew 28:20. By blending rich typography with this deep symbolism, we’ve created a "modern-classic" aesthetic that honors the gravity of his mission. In this first phase of the website, our goal was to create a digital home that reflected the same endurance and depth that characterized Paton's life of relentless commitment to reaching the unreached with the gospel. Visit patonsociety.org to learn more about this tremendous missionary initiative.

From brand strategy, identity, and web design, to animation and film, we have been hard at work behind the scenes, quietly polishing the final assets for a reveal that marks a new chapter in academic excellence. Partnering with visionary leaders to launch a groundbreaking academic offering has been a great privilege. Here is a quick peek behind the lens from our recent shoot. We can’t wait to show you the full picture soon. For now, keep your eyes on this space. Much more to come. #foreknown #truthmadevisible

We thoroughly enjoyed crafting the brand identity for @GPTSeminary's new podcast, The Dead Presbyterians Society. DPS delves into the legacy and unique contours of American Presbyterianism. Drawing inspiration from Francis Makemie, the acknowledged founder of Presbyterianism in the U.S., the brand pays tribute to the tradition’s historical foundations while embracing a bold, modern aesthetic. The result is a visually striking identity that balances historical depth with a playful edge, capturing the spirited tone behind the podcast’s name. #truthmadevisible #Foreknown

We had the pleasure of working with @wtspress on a cover design for Heman Bavinck's book The Certainty of Faith. We conceptualized a lone boulder, battered by endless waves, standing firm as an image of faith that endures through life’s fiercest storms. This Renaissance-inspired painting brings depth and gravity to Bavinck’s timeless reflection on the nature of belief. The design is a visual meditation on spiritual perseverance. #Foreknown #truthmadevisible

We’re grateful to partner with Brian Croft of Practical Shepherding and Endos Network to produce a 35-session video curriculum for the Endos Pastoral Residency, based on Practically Trained Pastors. Honored to help equip Latin American pastors with this vital resource. #truthmadevisible #foreknow

Foreknown partnered with Westminster Seminary Press to design the Historic Texts in Reformed Theology series. The project called for a visual language that merged classical sophistication with a contemporary edge. By combining intricate etching-style illustrations with striking color treatments, we aimed to give the series the weight and reverence it rightly deserves. James Ussher’s volume is now available for pre-order! #foreknown #truthmadevisible

What do the glory of God as a biblical theological concept, the burning bush in Exodus, and the seven lamps of Revelation have in common? That was the inspiration behind this bold and captivating brand identity—rooted in divine symbolism and rich biblical imagery. Oh, and yes… custom typography made just for it. #VisualizedTheology #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

We’ve been a little quiet on social media lately, but only because we’ve been deep in some exciting projects that we can't wait to share with you! One of the greatest privileges has been partnering with @Ligonier to bring their new children's curriculum, Growing in God's Word, to the digital space to launch at their national conference. The reception has been incredible, and we are so grateful for our small role in the ministry of Ligonier! Check it out at growingingodsword.org.

CCEF entrusted us with the mission of rebranding their organization while honoring the rich heritage they’ve built over the years. They sought a logo that would embody their Christ-centered foundation and legacy while remaining versatile for today’s needs. The result is a mark and identity designed to seamlessly function across all mediums—from digital and video to print and embroidery. The new design is iconic, memorable, scalable, and unmistakably Christ-centered—truly an enduring symbol for future generations. #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

As part of our brand design work for CCEF, we created a visual system to uniquely represent each course in its School of Biblical Counseling. Here is a brief sample of the iconography. #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

A snippet of something brewing… #WIP #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

There's nothing quite like refreshing the brand identity of a ministry that has profoundly impacted so many through Biblical Counseling. The enduring legacy of Dr. David Powlison and the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) is truly remarkable. It was a privilege to help recapture the essence of their mission: Restoring Christ to Counseling and Counseling to the Church. Stay tuned—more details to come in the weeks ahead! #truthmadevisible #Foreknown

“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward.” Psalm 127:3 The Biblical View of Abortion by Tom Pennington #Foreknown #truthmadevisible

At Foreknown, it is our desire to reflect our Creator in our philosophy and approach to design. We seek to glorify Him in all that we do. #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

We selected a Japanese Risograph-inspired technique for our project, defined by its vibrant, contrasting colors, charming imperfections, and clean, minimalist aesthetic. This unique approach adds a sense of realism and aligns seamlessly with our vision for this important book. The style’s layered textures and organic details bring a handmade quality that complements the narrative, creating an engaging, inviting, and visually striking presentation. #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

"Ruben Cabrera and his team at Foreknown created a top-notch product and provided a smooth professional experience for our book cover art project. Their creative services flow from a robust understanding of sixteenth-century Reformation theology and the protestant work ethic that surged because of the biblical truths recovered at that time. If you desire beauty, precision, and originality in design - for the glory of God alone (Soli Deo Gloria) - Foreknown is your one-stop shop. I look forward to our next project together!" - Lance Burroughs, The Word Unleashed #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

We had the honor of designing the cover for Tom Pennington's forthcoming book The Biblical View of Abortion: God's Heart for Life in the Womb. This thought-provoking design contrasts biblical and worldly perspectives, inviting readers to realign their views with God's truth. Stay tuned this week for a deeper dive into our work on this project. #TruthMadeVisible #Foreknown

Illustration was a big part of our work for Clearly Reformed, which helped bring to life the pilot we produced for the explainer video series. This video highlights the ways in which we work to achieve a comprehensive product that blends various aspects of design - in this case video production, sound design, and animation - to capture our clients' core messaging. #thruthmadevisible #foreknown
