[i]Here's the logo for the China lunar exploration project (CLEP) (中国探月/Zhongguo Tanyue) which you may have noticed on the Chang'e 4 payload fairing. Seems there's a few things going on here: [list=1][*]The overall shape is reminiscent of a crescent Moon and seemingly both to the ancient pictograph for Moon and the modern Chinese character(月·) [*]The two grey marks actually resemble footprints (indicating long term goals, one imagines...), while the grey is likely chosen for the Moon itself. [*]The blue curve, if you look at the bottom, contains the pattern of a flock of birds, which I understand to be doves, hence emphasising peaceful exploration of the Moon/space (which was seemingly necessary to underline...).[/list][/i]
