1976 Bicentennial Logo
Description
My Version Of The 1976 American Revolution Logo Described Below: The 1976 American Revolution Bicentennial Symbol Was The Logo For America’S 200Th Birthday Party And A Precursor To The Nasa "Worm" Logo That Bruce Blackburn Would Design In 1974. Blackburn, Speaking Of His Work Says, "My Deliberations Led To The Following Conclusions: To Begin With, Of All The Revolutionary “American” Symbols I Considered As Possible Elements In A Solution, The Only One That Passed The Historical Reference Test And, At The Same Time, Could Be Utilized In A Contemporary Or “Modern” Way Was The Five-Pointed Star From The Betsy Ross Flag. But The Star Is An Aggressive And Militaristic Form, And The Event Needed Something Friendlier, More Accessible. Why Not Wrap The Star In Stripes Of Red, White And Blue “Bunting”, Rounding The Sharp Edges Of The Star And Producing A Second Star Surrounding The Original? The Two Stars Also Refer To The Two American Centuries Being Celebrated. [...] When The Program Reached The Oval Office For Final Approval, President Nixon And His Men Decided That The Proposed Graphics Did Not Seem “Governmental” Enough And Mandated That The Typographic/Verbal Information Be Arranged In A Circle Surrounding The Symbol. And So It Was."
