To say I was excited about this project for Space Coast Tourism would be an understatement. The 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo moon mission was looming and a national campaign was needed to promote the events that would follow and to celebrate such a historic human achievement.

After fifty years, the Apollo mission has accumulated so much iconic imagery and documentation. The research and study behind this project was so fascinating that it took me down a road of pure interest and curiosity - so much so that I completed a Master Class in space exploration and aeronautics in order to better understand what I was designing. I wanted to pay my true respects to the feat of the mission itself….it also just sounded cool.

I wanted the logo to include as many aspects and details of the mission as possible. There were four main components that I wanted to refer to: the rocket, the destination, the name, and NASA’s original 1969 logo patch. I also wanted to honor the three astronauts aboard the Saturn V rocket by having three stars on each side of the logo. I hand drew the most prominent components with a focus of making it look like the mission patch as much as possible.

Given the popularity of gifs on Instagram and other social media platforms, the logo was turned into an animated graphic. Since the main logo had a lot of detail, I wanted there to be additional versions suitable for Instagram Stories that focused on the two main assets within.
