How it differs from its neighbours
In the Religion section, religion takes in all faiths at once, cross collects the shape itself whatever its use, and jesus holds figures and portraits. Christianity sits between them: signs that belong specifically to the Christian tradition, including the older and less obvious ones.
Reading the symbols
The anchor with a cross built into it is an early Christian sign of hope, and it still appears on seafarers' missions and memorials; a plain anchor, on the other hand, is simply nautical. Plain crosses suit parish notices, while the ornate plaque works as a header or on a service programme. Monograms and line marks are closer to logos than to devotional images, so keep them for branding.
Practical checks
Metallic crosses carry highlights that look wrong on a coloured background of a different warmth; try the image on your actual page colour. Symmetry matters with religious signs: check that the cross is upright and not slightly rotated. Line monograms hold up when reduced, while the plaque with its tiny corner crosses needs a larger size.
