research Logos and Brands

Research institutes, laboratories, university centers, and corporate R&D departments dedicated to producing new knowledge comprise the “Research” section. NASA, CERN, the Max Planck Society, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and hundreds of research organizations worldwide create logos that convey a commitment to the scientific method and intellectual inquiry. Emblems include images of atoms, DNA spirals, telescopes, microscopes, and abstract structures that refer to various disciplines, from quantum physics to genetics. The brands in this section are at the forefront of knowledge, and their logos convey a message of pushing the boundaries of understanding the world, whether it be the depths of space, the structure of the genome, or the nature of elementary particles.
