CORPORATE IDENTITY Vision statement The EspaceTemps association wishes to safeguard the Neuchâtel Observatory, to create a dialogue between science in the past and science in the future in order to increase awareness of the value of scientific heritage for future generation.
Mission statement The missions of the EspaceTemps association are: – To create and manage an exhibition in the Hirsch Pavilion – To maintain the installations on the Observatory site - in particular the Hirsch Pavilion and elsewhere in the Neuchâtel region (Portalban and Chaumont sights, etc.) – To collect and preserve historical documents and information for future generations.
Graphic identity The graphic identity of the EspaceTemps association was created by exploring different features related to time, astronomy, clocks, stars and the Observatory building itself. The final logo has an ellipse, referring both to a clock or watch dial, but also to the shape of a galaxy. The dots remind as of the stars observed by astronomers to define time; they also remind numerals as of on dials. The colour blue is related to sky observation, the space and therefore science and technology.
