Birmingham Astronomical Society
Creating designs that are out of this world!
Since 1950, Birmingham Astronomical Society has been promoting astronomy in across the city and beyond. They do this through a wide range of activities, sharing their love of astronomy and encouraging people to take part. As well as regular star-gazing they also provide monthly lectures, weekly club meetings, public outreach activities, a well-stocked library and other socialising opportunities. Studio Denley worked with the Society on their 75th Anniversary celebration materials.
Leading the project was a celebratory pin badge. The design references the Birmingham city flag in its colours, with the star design based on the view of a round diamond cut to signify 75 years – a diamond anniversary.
Accompanying the badge was a 72 page printed publication that detailed key achievements of the society’s history. Alongside the stunning astronomical photography the book also featured fantastic historical images of the society throughout the years.
A copy of the publication was given to every member of the society with additional copies being distributed to various organisations to raise awareness.
