I don't believe in 'Aliens' but...
If a technologically, advanced race of them came down to Earth in some spontaneously, waaaay over the top, intergalactic curtain call, I doubt humankind would be judged by this IGHT - (Intergalactic Good Housekeeping Team) based upon the softline ergonomics of our moonbase kitchen nooks - or for that matter, by anything other than our percerverance as a species in traversing the great communication divides always
The Honda logo/emblem is a smart vision of the past, present and future. The logo is thick and steady at the base/bottom. It's heart (or middle) is sturdy and showing more sophisticated signs in it's geometric and gradient attack upon the top - the future!
As far as the company name appears, it's every bit as smart and as sleek only in a more collusive way. Egyptian faces or 'slab' serif types always get slighted and I for one feel they are entirely under rated and used. If you notice, - the Honda emblem is in contrast to the Honda name design spelled out. Yes! - those are slab serifs but they are also eloquently bracketed. The design effect is to achieve overall balance between the two.
The slabs themselves are elements of time-tested stability, the minds eye is beckoned to both an Egyptian meets Roman, cross-temporal sharing of the gaurd and big, sturdy 'Hoss' from a ranch called 'Ponderosa'.
Is this a case of a company living up to it's graphic corporate identity? It is a little known fact that Honda revamped their emblem around 1989-90 to coincide with what was perhaps their most furtile and prolific time as an automobile manufacturer.
It is at least possible that a company like Honda would be a part of building the first moon base. If so, would you feel safe living on the moon?
I for one would. - eat my shorts Doctor Evil!
