ART IMITATES SCIENCEFICTION AGAIN
This is the logo of the new British Space Centre
And
this is the logo of the Ministry of Space in Warrne Ellis & Chris Weston's admirable graphic novel of the same name.
Personally I prefer Ellis' original - it is slim, sharp, is derived from our history (use of the roundel) & looks like a rocket while the other looks like a bloated vehicle which will have difficulty getting off the ground. And the official version has an almost grey shade of "blue" which is both wrong & symbolic.
