St. Bart’s Expanded and Integrated Offerings 

St. Bart’s worked with Champions in 2011 to build their identity system. They came back to us in 2024 with the need to better align their programs in order to strengthen their offerings.  The church had reorganized, new leadership was emerging, and previously independent operators were newly united in their mission to serve as a place for everyone.


The 2011 St. Bart’s branding case study.

Champions worked with longtime collaborator Jesse Ragan to develop the original wordmark drawn from the building lettering in 2011. 

We worked with Jesse again in 2025 to expand the character set into a full alphabet.  

Bartholomew, complete with interpuncts, Spanish diacritics, and custom glyphs makes the wordmark lettering available to the restaurant, programs, and 501(c)(3)s.

Flared serifs, ball terminals, and triangular interpuncts all work together to imbue the typeface with a sense of place. 

Bartholomew is programmed with special glyphs to easily and consistently create wordmarks for church properties. The alphabet also includes stylistic alternates for characters like G and J, to allow for moments of expressiveness or sobriety. 

To ensure a strong connection to the physical space, the restaurant and 501(c)(3) groups take on the Bartholomew lettering and include the “at St. Barts” tag in the wordmark.

In the spirit of ‘radical welcome’, St. Bart’s offers many signature programs that create spaces to connect with parishioners and community members alike. These groups utilize the token system already established for the brand.
