Re: new movie

I will say that the film really came together from the rough cut I saw! Watching the rough cut, it didn't feel like a real, complete movie. Now it does! It's still going to be best enjoyed by the 7-12 year-old demographic, no doubt, and I don't know that it's going to hold up as well as SpaceCamp do...

In the Moonbuggy Race, every team gets two runs on the course. Friday will be the teams' first run. After the first day, they order the te...

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

I had my brother look at the new logo. He is the founding professor of the Brand Center at Virginia Commonwealth University and appears regularly as a branding consultant on tv news shows. His response was: "The new logo is not very good. They could do so much better. " That from a profes...

Yes, it's a vital consideration that others may have missed!

Good thing I'm here to point it out! :D

Seriously though, it'll happen. A lot.

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

It's funny you made this comment now. I've just heard that the logo, slightly tweaked, has been approved to replace the old logo.

I'll write it up with more detail (and commentary) on the front page soon.

Re: Things you'd like to see for sale at gift shop or online

They need some clever T-Shirts.

Granted, I'm not sure what such things would say, but I find their current selection pretty boring...

Re: SC jackets, anyone have one?

Last I checked (though it's been a while), the jackets the counselors wear are not the same ones sold in the gift shop.

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

I'll say finally that, at the very least, they should use it for the Space Camp for Educators program. I think it works well for that program as well.

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

What I like about your logo though is, if nothing else (and it's more than that), it's proof that it is absolutely possible to make a logo that isn't like the current one work!

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

Personally, if the logo is to change, I'd consider consulting an ad agency to do the re-branding.

Whatever they change it to needs to be at least as iconic as what came before.

That's an incredibly tall order.

Re: Possible New Space Camp Logo

Keep in mind, it's entirely possible they aren't switching the logo at all in the near future, or this was just something they were kicking around.

At this point, who knows?

Titled simply, Space Camp , and running for one minute, twenty-nine seconds, the spot highlights kids at Space Camp and all the wonderful things that make up the experience. And then at the very end of the video, the Space Camp...

Re: Patches for the different programs?

you'd be surprised how out of touch even large museums are. Very rarely do they consult any marketing people and almost none do surveys to see what would sell or not. Some even buy the same lame, low-selling items year after year because nobody knows any better. Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong. All of...

Re: Patches for the different programs?

Take a look at the red/blue "visitor center" patches on the flightsuits that are for sale in the gift shop. Seriously, who'd buy one of those? In all fairness, since they have to order those anyway for the flightsuits, the incremental cost of ordering a few extra ones to have for sale in ...
