Space travel company hosts contest to design official passenger emblem

LAS VEGAS, NV – For those who dream of space travel, now is the time to leave a mark on this burgeoning industry. World View, a transformative space travel experience, invites designers and fans to create the official emblem to represent its spaceflight passengers known as ‘Voyagers.’

Designers can develop and submit a design that will represent World View’s Voyagers and live on for decades to come. Designs must be uploaded here by June 23. World View encourages creativity but designs should align with and speak to the brand. The grand prize winner will be awarded $500 cash and an all expenses paid trip* for themselves and a guest to the inaugural Voyager Gala, where they’ll have the chance to witness the unveiling of part of the World View space capsule and rub elbows with NASA astronauts, celebrities and leaders from industries all over the world.

Launching its first flights in 2016, World View will have Voyagers floating gracefully to the edge of space, providing a rare opportunity to gaze at Earth below and see the world in a way that only astronauts have. They will board a stylish, fully pressurized space capsule for a gentle ascent to 20 miles above Earth under a high-altitude balloon. Once reaching peak altitude atop 99 percent of the atmosphere, passengers will spend two hours marveling at the Earth in all its glory – suspended against the backdrop of a vast, black and infinite universe. Thanks to in-flight Internet access, Voyagers can share the experience in real-time with loved ones while sipping on a cocktail.

“Seeing the Earth from space is a profound experience that has the power to change lives and change the world,” said Jane Poynter, CEO of World View. “As we work toward our launch, we hope to garner input and support from the countless millions who believe in our mission.
