This is a logo that was never used because the client changed the name of the exhibit during the design process. I've done a lot of logos and this is probably one of my favorites, which makes it even more disappointing that it will never see the light of day. Maybe this concept will find a home in another project someday.
The concept behind this mark is simple. Conceptually, the A represents a space craft launching into space. Visually, it is "a" rocket ship blasting into "space".
The fire trail of the rocket replaces the A in Blast, allowing for both words to be read easily. The detail of Blast resembles the panels of a rocket ship; This added detail helps the viewer see the letters as actual machines, instead of simply type.
If anyone knows of a space exhibit titled "Space Blast" be sure to let them know this graphic needs a good home.
