Logo Design Brief

We need a logo design for a new 'accelerator hub' for commercial Space startups.

An exciting new commercial arena with a huge potential market, "Space 2.0" is breaking free of the 'establishment' big systems-integrator- & government-led aerospace/defence industry with a new 'agile' culture drawn from the digital realm, and a new confidence borne from rapid manufacturing tools like 3D-printing, machine learning, and miniaturised robotics.

Our poster-child is of course Elon Musk and his SpaceX/Tesla combo. At the same time, operating outside the US we face a somewhat more sceptical audience who want us to succeed in real terms: creating jobs, making real stuff happen, proving that we are making an impact on the world and not just a lot of noise - so "credibility and trust" is as important as "excitement, smarts and energy".

We're open as to whether the logo is just a typographic treatment, or if it combines a graphic mark + typographic treatment. Ultimately, we want to the logo to reflect send a message of unbridled 21st century optimism about Australian talent and vision let loose on a global stage.

Updates

We will be co-branding 5 stands at the Australian 2014 CeBIT show in three weeks with the winning logo !

Hannover Fairs will print it against a dark blue / black background - so it should work really well reversed-out.

Folks, an update:

- we'd like to see treatments where the 'V' (if text) is uppercase

- we'd also like to see treatments where the word 'SpaceHub' is dropped, and we add in a tagline "Australia's Space Startup Accelerator"

Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far!
