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. 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.
