Description
Mandala Space Ventures is a venture studio and investment fund focused entirely on the new space economy.
I had the chance to meet a group of incredibly inspiring people from Pasadena, California, to discuss the project and better understand their vision — and that meeting shaped the creative direction in a meaningful way.
I helped them build their visual identity and designed a website that tells their story through atmosphere, depth, and a grounded sense of engineering precision.
This case study showcases one of the alternative logo directions I developed — the one I personally loved the most — along with the visual language behind the first website concept.
Description
During the design process, we explored several logo directions.
Even though the client chose another option (the black dotted symbol), I’m showcasing this direction because it captured something special in the process.
This symbol actually came together by accident during geometric sketching, but it immediately clicked for me. It felt like: the moment of a rocket launch – the energy, the upward motion, the tension before liftoff, a subtle reference to old pre-digital emblems – simple, bold forms that would work just as well embossed on metal, printed on paper, or used as a mission patch
It has that mix of retro engineering clarity and future-driven space ambition.
