Banner Design Matter
All submitted designs must contain the words National Space Society and the NSS Logo.
You can download the logo that best fits into your design by clicking here. The design should be oriented to fit a
banner that is 6.0 ft wide x 2.5 ft high. It will be printed on vinyl giving
it a longer life for outdoor use. When deciding on a theme keep in mind that
the creation of a new banner design is being made to inspire the viewer to
take action. It must draw the attention of those who view it to imprint the
name National Space Society as the place to
join, NOW, to get actively involved in the pursuit of space exploration and
settlement.
Additional details as to acceptable content and
how judges will be evaluating the designs can be found in the Judging
Guidelines for Submitted Designs page.
