With no ability to turn this into something useable, Gerson sent this to a CS friend Omar Diab with instructions to make something space related and useable. Without much to go on, Omar leveraged the NASA meatball logo with a Stanford S in the middle. But Gerson wanted to make it clear that the group wasn't just about rockets, and so requested the addition of other things on the outside - because the other projects at the time were a PhoneSat and Lunabotics, the satellite and excavator were chosen which resulted in SSI's first official logo. Though there was an option (that wasn't chosen) that showed a moon rover instead.

And yes, at the time our name was the Stanford Spaceflight Initiative. It would be months until we were forbidden from using Stanford in the name (we weren't an approved group) or using the Stanford S with a rocket in the middle (breaks branding rules). When that happened, we creatively changed things up to remove the Stanford S (we were too stubborn to change our name)
