Rome–based designer and art director Davide Mascioli shared his latest project — SELA (Space Exploration Logo Archive).
Passionate about art, space exploration, and design, Davide envisioned the SELA book as a project he’d love to own. His dedication to creating something tangible that preserves and celebrates the rich visual history of space exploration is the heart of this project, and his Kickstarter funding drive has resulted in more than double the initial goal.
From the Kickstarter page, SELA explores 370+ logos across eight thematic chapters, divided into five mini-books, each distinguished by a unique colour palette. From iconic NASA emblems to lesser-known mission insignias, discover the full spectrum of space logos reimagined in crisp vector detail.

The book will be printed on recycled Fedrigoni paper by Oreri, a printing space and independent publisher in Cagliari.
SELA is five mini-books across eight chapters
Each logo includes a caption and year of design
Beyond aesthetics, SELA honours the designers who contributed to the visual identity of space exploration, celebrating their creativity and highlighting their role in shaping the fascination with space.

In addition to the book, an online archive is now up and running, where you’re free to download vector logos and learn more about the individual designs: spaceexplorationlogoarchive.webflow.io
Lovely work, Davide, and congratulations on your success with the backing.
