Zenno / Brand Identity №1 / 2022
Archive — first iteration of Zenno’s brand identity in real life, stitched into the lab coats of engineers. Auckland, 2022. The foundational glyph.

We've recently secured investment from All Nippon Airways (ANA Holdings) and Mitsubishi Electric, facilitated through Japan's top VC firm, Global Brain.
This investment enables Zenno Astronautics to fully deploy Z01, marking it the world's first superconducting product designed for use in space.
Superconductors will revolutionize how humanity utilizes space resources, directly in space, thereby reducing our dependency on Earth. This step is crucial for expanding life into the cosmos.
Currently, we face three primary challenges:
1. Dependence on finite, Earth-derived fuels for space transportation: This restricts the extent and sustainability of space travel.
2. Radiation damage to electronics and human tissues: This limits our ability to maintain a continuous human presence in space.
3. Our inability to conduct routine and reliable in-space operations: This includes tasks like the assembly of structures, satellite servicing, and debris removal, which are essential for long-term space habitation and operations.

With superconducting electromagnets, we could achieve precise control, enabling complex space architectures and unprecedented missions. Imagine a future where spacecraft fly in close and controlled formation using nothing but electromagnetic forces.

Imagine shielding astronauts from cosmic radiation with superconducting magnets, creating mini magnetospheres in space. This could revolutionize space travel safety, making Mars missions more probable.

A short time-lapse from last night out at Bethells Beach. Wish I had set up for longer, but had other compositions on my mind 😎
Still can't believe what I saw from Auckland! Absolutely nuts!

Yes, you can accelerate plasma with it for higher impulse. Like a magnetic nuzzle.

During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras,
and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.

This is an absolutely astonishing story, beautifully told -- warmly recommended to anyone with a passing interest in the solar system...
So about a year ago, I was putting my little guy to bed in his crib and I noticed a strange detail on the solar system poster up on his wall …
ALT A solar system poster. The Sun in the middle as an orange ball. All the planets orbiting with their respective moons. At the bottom the planets arranged in order of distance from the sun. And the title of the poster THE SOLAR SYSTEM in all caps.
