Space company needs a logo update

This is what Equatorial Space was looking for in their logo design

We are a new space start up focused on building propulsion and rockets, we have a legacy logo/ branding that was created in-house that we feel needs input from creatives to get to the next level. We are also moving focus of operations from a Singapore HQ to the USA, and with that the name has been slightly changed (Equatorial Space Systems to Equatorial Space) which has made the previous logo concept look aesthetically unbalanced.

We would like the logo to convey a launch to space from the equatorial ocean region of Earth and include our name Equatorial Space, the portrait version of the original logo also includes a crescent moon effect & stars which are representative of the Singaporean flag & our origin legacy. I have attached our previous logos as reference.

We are flexible on new font types etc, but would like to keep in the ball park style wise so its identifiable with the previous brand. Read more
