Three semicircles sit at the center of the piece, the smallest at the center representing the core of our planet, and surrounding it planet Earth itself with land and ocean masses. The third semicircle encases the other two with an intense, dark black, symbolizing the vastness of space. Stemming from the Earth are several strands reaching out towards a star. One of these strands has a distinctive appearance of a strand of DNA. Also featured are the Sun, looming in the background in an intense and vibrant yellow, along with the Moon floating slightly to the side and above planet Earth. At the bottom of the design, 4 lines float beneath the Earth, becoming increasingly thinner and faded.

About the work: This minimal design was created with the idea of expanding upon the symbols created by astronomers for the first few discovered asteroids. (16) Psyche’s symbol was a semicircle with a star above. My idea was to add to the logo to create a piece exploring the origins of Earth, and the shared foundation our planetary core may have with Psyche. At the center of Earth – the core – and at the surface of our planet, strands reach out to the stars, grasping for a better understanding of the structure of our own world.
