PROPOSAL for the QUINEBAUG VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
MANUFACTURING CENTER, DANIELSON, CT

"Mission Control"
is
intended as a symbol of the manufacturing process and mans' control
over the process. A person has their hand on the levers of control
symbolizing the importance of the human factor in making the process
work. The 4 elements representing different steps or stages in
the process are differentiated by a different shape and the process
within each stage is also symbolized by a different shape. The
shape of the resulting product is seen changing in each new step.
A person celebrates the final result which is or can be mass
produced.
