Did you make sure all of the images used were their own and not from the internet. You might not be able to use it if credit isn’t given
- John
  
  Yep! Thanks for checking tho!

I like #4. Communicates Run Wild

5 as top vote, and 4 as second. 5 Looks the most professional I’d say.

I had one of the images picked out, then I read your last blog post “No More Apathy” and I changed my mind and voted for #4. To me the imagery of 4 looks like the horses are coming out of this foggy, unknown, maybe confusing or dark place and they are busting out into an open pasture of light. That just seems to match what you were talking about. Coming out of a fog of apathy and complacency and moving into a place of light and worship. Thats my 2 cents.
- John
  
  Thanks, Dan. I like your 2 cents, hah. Really appreciate it!

These are so great! I love them all, but for some reason I just really love #3. I know a lot of people like #4, but I just don’t connect with horses. LOL
- John
  
  I get that. Thanks, Kelly!!

#3 reminds me of the golden streets of heaven that you want to run through/on
I believe the brown lettering of your slogan blends well with the Golden wheat yet neither the lettering nor the scenery is distracting from one another.
- John
  
  Nice observation!

2! Amazing colours, and climate!
- John

HI from Camp Sharon days last summer – I like #4 – but they all look great – can’t go wrong with any of them! Happy Choosing!
- John
  
  Thanks, Jill. I hope you’re doing well!
Terri

I like 4′s photo the best but do not like how the logo looks on it. It should be above the horses.
Over all 3 looks the best together.
- John
  
  Thanks Terri!
Katie

1!
- John
  
  Thanks!
Jesse Eckel

Four but they’re all awesome.
- John
  
  I agree – they’re all awesome.

#3 – It just looks peaceful and calming – love you John – Pam
- John
  
  Thanks Pam!
Jonathan

3 or 4 are SAW WEEET!
- john
  
  Thanks, bro.
Angela

#1!
- John
  
  Thanks!
Jenny

ok, 1 is too cold. 2 and 3 are best, 4 is too country cowboy/western, 5 looks too much like something out of an Alaskan cruise brochure. Out of 2 and 3, I like 3 best. The image of the field reminds me of a wheat field ripe for harvest, it is a wide open expanse with plenty or room to “run” in, and the light coming through the clouds and shining on the “wheat” is comforting. The picture reminds me of how He shines on all of us and makes us beautiful. His light runs through us, over us, and in us. We, the “wheat”, not the “chaff.”
- John
  
  Thanks Jenny!

#2 rules.
- John
  
  Jon helped that one make it!
vasjan

Visualy, 1st fits very well (contrast) but i have to agree with Jenny, it’s a bit cold for the title and concept. 4 is a bit obvious but got nice colours and texture and the typo fits well by popping out. Now 3 got vibration on it, visualy and symbolically, ‘single’ like…if it only could have the title in white and no circle…ohhh would be perfect to me. Vote 3!
- John
  
  Thanks Vasjan!
Hobie Simmons

I really enjoy 4; it fits best for the concept. Props to all. They are all truly fantastic!
- John
  
  Thanks Hobie!

  Thanks Nathan!
Herby

I like it, thank you, that I can Join the voting. I voted for 4 (the running Wild Horses) But it was not easy to decide, 1 is also good or 2 ,… But the 4 was more “along the Title”, so I voted for that
- John
  
  Thanks!

Visually, the best are 2 and 3. 2 because the sunlight says “This is the morning of my life. I can run FREE!” and 3 because it literally gives me the feeling of running wild in a field. I really love 3. However, I think that 3 should have kept its text as white, and it would be a serious contender.
However, who takes the cake?

4 does.
Excellent execution, nice use of the instagram type filters, and much thought was put into it – hiding some of the text behind the horses. Knowing how John gave the text to work with (sidebar: John! ;( – you made it hard by giving us a png picture of the text!….lol), you really made it work. The borders definitely helped. 4 has my vote.
- John
  
  Right on, thanks CJ!

The design with the horses fits in really well with the word “running.” The action in that one is great!
- John
  
  Thanks Diane!
Blake Bishop

I really like number four because of the running imagery.
- John
  
  Thanks, Blake!
Kyle Sheppard

Between #2 #4
- John
  
  Thanks Kyle!
Maria

#2 is my favorite. I also like #5
- John
  
  Thanks Maria!!
Sam Ricardo

it’s hard choosing only one cuz all those are wonderful!
but I choose one
- John
  
  Thanks for your vote, Sam!
Tanner

#2 is the best it looks like it just really took the longest and also just looks like a really sick front cover of a CD!
- John
  
  Thanks Tanner!
Lisa M

I agree with Blake #4 because of the imagery.
- John
  
  Thanks, Lisa.
Deb Breeden

I like #3 because of the deeper coloration
- John
  
  Thanks Deb! I appreciate your time!
Danna

All of them are great but #2 is much better than the rest!!! Love the colors it’s GORGEOUS!!!!!
- John
  
  Thanks Danna!
CV

#2 draws the eye of the viewer and really attracts the viewer to the great detail.
- John
  
  Thanks CV!
Aubrey

Definitely #2!
- John
  
  Thanks Aubrey!
Noah

All of them look awesome but I think #2 outshines the rest of them. The light rays shining down on the words is sick!
- John
  
  Thanks Noah! I agree, they all look awesome.
Corey

#2 is the best
- John
  
  Thanks for the comment, Corey!
Jodi Buttram

I liked 5 and voted that way because I just like the vintage feel of the picture. They’re all great though =)
- John
  
  Thanks Jodi!
Jolonda

I don’t know how to vote…but I say #3 matches the title the best.
- John
  
  Thanks!
LewisChris94

#2 is the best the way the lights through the trees hit the words and it seems in style, and the others just seem to much like a western feel.
- John
  
  Thanks, Lewis!
Derick

#4! though the photo on number 5 is really nice, all but #4 and maybe #1 paint too serene of a scene especially #2 & #3 – so my pick is #4 (albeit a bit literal) the large type and the photo capture best I think what the words ‘Run Wild in my soul’ is asking for. That the horses are still at a distance but in full stride seems to indicate the assurance of a favorable answer to the request – though it tarry—wait for it.
- John
  
  Thanks Derick!
Talia Wille

they’re all soo good! but for me, number 4 really does ‘Run Wild’ – it gives a strong sense of running wild.
- John
  
  Thanks Talia!

I have to admit that it took me a second, but my eyes kept going back to number 4…I think that it will capture the attention of someone and make them want to pick up the album
- John
  
  Thanks Yasmin. Hope you’re doing well!

#2 is the best!
- John
  
  Thanks bennie!
Sue

I like 2 and 4….I like the light shining through to your soul in 2. I agree with some of the other comments regarding the action of the horses in 4, but it feels a little western to me. My thought for an ideal cover would be 2 with rushing water/rapids, etc. But bottom line, I guess I go with #2.
Michelle

I went back and forth between 3&4, but I think 3. It’s about our Souls running free, not horses yet they are alll beautiful. I say 3!
Erika

#4 is my vote!!! It’s great!!!
Trey Rhoden

#4 is awesome! it sort of depicts a relentless pursuit which fits well with the album title!
Grace Stottlemyer
