Spiritual mileage: the story behind the dotted S

Every name and every logo tells a story. Ours is about a walk: the slow, daily kind, one step at a time, with God.

Keeping the fire burning

From the start, we wanted a name that spoke of one thing: keeping the fire burning on the altar of prayer, day after day.

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. Leviticus 6:13

While we built the app, we called it Miles. It came from an idea at the heart of the app: spiritual mileage. Every chapter you read and every day you pray adds miles to your walk. Not to earn anything, but to see how far God has brought you.

From spiritual mileage to Spage

When it was time to choose the real name, we kept the idea and made it our own. Take the start of Spiritual and the end of mileage, and you get Spage. Short, easy to say, and a reminder of what the app is for every time you open it.

A path that shines brighter

Our logo is an S drawn as a trail of dots. Each dot is a step on the way. The dots grow and brighten as they rise, like a path catching more and more light.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18

That verse is the whole idea. A daily walk with God rarely feels dramatic on any single day. But look back over weeks and months, and you can see the light growing. The dotted S is that look back, in one small picture.

Why dots, not a flame?

Fire is part of our story, and the flame lives inside the app, next to your streak. But a flame is a moment. We wanted the logo to say journey: many small days adding up to something bright. The flame shows today. The dotted S shows the whole road.

Every dot is a day

When you open Spage, read a chapter and pray, you add a dot of your own. Some days will feel small. They still count. Keep walking, and watch the light grow.

Spage is a free Christian app for daily Bible reading, prayer and community, and it is coming soon. Get involved and help us build it.
