They should hire a Japanese company to come up with an ultra cute Jesus character that would appeal to all the little kids, like Hello Kitty or Mashimaro. That'd be pretty sweet. Think of all the merchandising opportunities!

A father is very much concerned about his young son Billy’s bad grades in math. In desperation, he decides to register Billy at a catholic school. After his first term there, Billy brings home his report card. And, lo and behold, he’s getting A’s in math.
The father is, of course, pleased, but wants to know: “Why are your math grades suddenly so good?”
Billy’s face goes a little white, and he replies, “when I walked into the classroom the first day, and I saw that guy on the wall nailed to a plus sign, I knew one thing: this place means business!”

well at least the crucifix didn't show the actual suffering of the person.
Usually they crapped and pissed themselves and were covered with fleas and other insects that basically fed on them. On top of that it was fairly common to either nail the feet on the sides of the crucifix instead of the middle because it was more painful.
In some cases prior to Crucifixion the condemned legs were broken so they would die quicker but while they lived it would be extremely painful to take their weight off of the shoulders.

Could maybe Catholics consider just using an image of a cross sans a violently beaten man nailed to it in their propaganda? It's a horribly appalling image.
I had to pick up my daughter's seven-year-old friend from Catholic school the other day, and when my daughter and I walked into the school the first thing we saw was JC nailed to a cross. My girl found it shocking, which got me thinking how ridiculous the image is to continue using. It's cheap shock advertising for the cause.
Anyway, if you're Catholic and agree with me, maybe propose it to your congregation. Might be time for a logo update.
It's been some time since I attended church regularily but would certianly show up to watch the guy who suggests this get laughed out of the building.
And a "logo" update? It's not really a logo or brand persay
And lastly, you REALLY need to think through some of your topics before you hit post. Between your fear of dogs, bears and now religous symbols that have been around for a couple thousand years, I do fear for your daughter having a dad that seems to taken aback by some very strange things.
It begs the question, what was YOUR dad like? Was he also a "the world needs to be bubble wrapped for my families saftey" too?
Everyone picks on Catholics and Jesus because catholics won't blow stuff up and threaten you when insulted.
Are standards for good behaviour from religions really that low these days?
