NASA’S SENTINEL-6 SateLlite

IDENTITY DESIGNER

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory commissioned me to create a logo and identity for the Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMR-C) component to the the Sentinel-6 satellite. Launched on November 21, 2020, 9:17 AM PST, This satellite mission Is measuring ocean evaporation for the next 10 years. This logo has been used digitally as well as on branding materials such as t-shirts, polos, stickers, magnets, decals, and hats.

MISSION PATCH

DESIGN PROCESS

The Sentinel-6 engineering crew at JPL requested a logo for their device to place next to the other historical satellite mission patches. Working from there, I received a brief of the mission and visuals of what the device looks like. I wanted to accurately represent the instruments and create a patch that would not feel out of place with other satellite mission patches. I used Adobe Illustrator to stylized the outlines of the device and highlighted the specialized instruments in gold. The star pattern in the background is used to represent the 6 members of the team and the blue waves in the background hint at the oceanic water vapor it will be measuring.
