The JSCARC’s New Logo
The Johnson Space Center Amateur Radio Club (JSCARC), based at NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, operates under a formal NASA Space Act Agreement to directly support NASA’s official mission. As the club continues to evolve, it recognized the need for a new logo—one that pays tribute to its rich legacy while looking ahead to its future.
The JSCARC logo was thoughtfully refreshed to honor its heritage while embracing a modern look. Inspired by the iconic NASA “meatball” logo, it features a blue circular design that embodies the spirit of space exploration and amateur radio communication.
At its core, the logo includes the club’s name, 19 stars, a red wing, a pinpoint marking Houston’s Johnson Space Center, the International Space Station (ISS), and the retired space shuttle. Each element symbolizes a vital aspect of the Amateur Radio Club’s mission, blending themes of space, aeronautics, and communication.
Blue Sphere: Represents a planet, echoing the NASA logo’s celestial theme.
Stars: Nineteen stars honor the 19 lives lost in space, symbolizing the vastness and solemn history of space exploration.
Red Wing (Chevron): Signifies aeronautics, maintaining consistency with NASA’s design language.
Colors: Red, white, and blue reflect the patriotic spirit of the American space agency and the club’s proud heritage.
Red Star: Marks the location of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, the heart of the club’s activity.
International Space Station: Highlights the ISS as the central hub for the ARC’s communications.
Retired Space Shuttle: Pays tribute to a historic vehicle integral to the club’s legacy.
Radio Antenna: Symbolizes the essential communication device used by the club.
W5RRR: The official call sign of the Amateur Radio Club, proudly displayed.
Together, these elements create a logo that respects tradition while representing the club’s ongoing commitment to space communication and exploration.
