NASA’s Deep Space Network

Caught a glimpse of this cool logo and embroidered patch on my X timeline, via @patricia_klein_ was immediately intrigued:

The following quote is from NASA’s Deep Space Network web page:

When it comes to making a long-distance call, it’s hard to top NASA’s Deep Space Network. The largest and most sensitive scientific telecommunications system in the world, the antennas of the DSN are our indispensable link to missions venturing beyond Earth. The DSN provides a crucial connection with our spacecraft, receiving never before seen images and scientific information on Earth, propelling our understanding of the universe, our solar system and ultimately, our place within it.

Have asked if the Feedly app icon could be tackled as well, given I designed that back in 2011, and is a pretty well used RSS app.

Just signed up to the micro.blog Premium, so excited to finally get on board.

My main ‘work’ website is on Wordpress, but it’s now so bloated and old (2008+), I feel I need to simplify.

My passion is designing logos and photography, and also my 7 year old German Shepherd: Miss Poppy.
