Space Center
Space Center
This conceptual rebrand reimagines a historic space center and memorial through a modern visual language that captures the depth and impact of STEM programs. The project includes a comprehensive rebrand, an anniversary campaign, and a suite of event deliverables.
Logo Development Stage 1
The exploration began with an emphasis on movement, leading lines, and strong visual weight to establish a confident and forward-looking presence.
Logo Development Stage 2
Concepts evolved through the exploration of space-inspired forms such as rocket boosters, satellites, and control interfaces. Abstract iconography and wordmark variations were developed to spark curiosity and invite deeper engagement.
Logo Development Stage 3
The final concept reflects planetary exploration and a sense of collective progress. Three leading lines emerge as a core element, symbolizing diversity, momentum, and innovation.
Final Logo
The final mark captures the essence of the exploration in its most refined form. Bold, modern, and forward-thinking, the identity signals a new chapter for the Columbia Memorial Space Center while honoring its legacy and inspiring the next generation of discovery.
Brand Guidelines
Brand Applications
With the Columbia Memorial Space Center’s 10-year anniversary approaching, “Creative Space” was proposed as a public celebration inviting guests to explore critical and creative thinking.
The activation extended the brand into an immersive experience supported by designed touchpoints including an event invite, wayfinding, guest badges, a STEM booklet, and a hands-on workshop where visitors could create their own merchandise using branded visual elements.
At the center of the experience, the STEM booklet expanded the identity through a flexible visual system of icons and patterns derived from the logo’s leading line geometry. Each icon was crafted with storytelling in mind, featuring a star for science, a microchip for technology, a gear for engineering, and structured lines for mathematics. These elements, combined with interactive experiences, brought the Columbia Memorial Space Center brand to life in an engaging, educational, and distinctly memorable way.
