So what did little old me actually do? Well, it was a logo re-styling project and that may not sound like much to some of you, but to a graphic designer, it’s a big deal. Why? Because to achieve a great result on restyling an existing logo or visual, you need to really evaluate the design and bring out the best in it, balance its elements and know what to lose and what to enhance. This mission patch in particular is a visual representation of ESA’s contribution to the most exciting expedition to our Moon in more than half a century. The re-styling is subtle – the three shaded concentric circles represent the ambition to build our scientific knowledge by exploring beyond Earth and beyond the Moon to Mars. But the focus remains on the technical expertise and capability of the European module that will power the mission.

You get the idea. To see my work being used to represent one of the most inspirational space exploration missions this century is truly humbling.
