Happy Easter!
The Bible World logo is essentially a golden-leafed Bible with a red ribbon. The letters ‘B’ and ‘W’ are drawn in a simple illumination form. As seen on Epcot’s Spaceship Earth, before the invention of Heidelberg’s printing press, monks would copy out manuscripts of the Bible. Sometimes they would use illuminated letters (with little drawings) to make the first letter stand out from the rest of text. Although I prefer the older illuminated Bibles, some monks in my state of Minnesota recently assembled an illuminated Bible called the St. John's Bible, as seen below.
