The National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS) has unveiled its new brand yesterday (1 April) alongside the formation of the autonomous space agency.
Developed by global brand practice Anak, the NSAS brand reframes the way Singaporeans think about space with the central idea that “space isn’t distant, it’s already here” and that it shapes how people live, move, connect and thrive.
Anchored by the tagline “Spaceborne, Earthready”, the brand highlights the convergence of orbit-born innovation with tangible impact on Earth.

The visual identity reflects this duality through intersecting forms, celestial light and atmospheric colours. The logomark, derived from a single letter S, representing both Singapore and space, forms a globe-like structure.
Embedded within are references to orbit paths: the vertical trajectory of sun-synchronous orbits and the horizontal sweep of the equatorial belt.
Central to the launch is a campaign film that looks back at Singapore’s efforts and progress in space technology. This includes Singapore’s first satellite ground station in 1971 and the nation’s first indigenously designed and built satellite in 2011, among others.
The video also highlights how space technologies can bring benefits across industries, economies and societies.
“The brand we’ve created for NSAS stands for something quietly radical. That space shapes the world, and Singapore is ready to shape what comes next,” said Hanyi Lee, creative partner at Anak.
The new brand will roll out across NSAS platforms in the coming months, including its website.
In an Instagram post commenting on the official launch, prime minister Lawrence Wong said that “Singapore may not have launch sies of vast land, but we have real strengths in specialised areas.” He shared that Singapore can be a high-value, innovation-driven space hub that is focused on satellites, data, high-end manufacturing and services.
Space technologies can also help Singapore overcome physical constraints, from improving connectivity, to enhancing climate monitoring and disaster response, added PM Wong.
“The new agency will bring together expertise across government, industry and academia to seize these opportunities and strengthen Singapore’s resilience for the future,” said PM Wong.
Earlier in February, the NSAS named Anak as its creative partner to develop the brand strategy and launch campaign.
Anak’s remit spans brand discovery, strategy, visual identity development and application, as well as creative direction for the launch campaign of the new NSAS brand.
“Anak has had the privilege of helping shape many Singapore-grown brands, including Singapore’s very own national brand, and this partnership with NSAS feels like a natural continuation of that journey,” Lee said in February.
“We are thrilled to work with NSAS in defining and articulating the story of Singapore’s space efforts and ambitions, and to build understanding, pride and imagination around what Singapore is reaching for in space, and why it matters to all of us,” added Lee.
