Dynastructures, Inc. was a Philadelphia-based company whose logo appeared in David E. Carter’s The Book of American Trade Marks, a notable compilation of corporate identity designs from the early 1960s.[1] The mark was designed in 1963 by Kramer Miller Lomden Glassman Inc., a Philadelphia design firm.[2]
Design and History
The Dynastructures symbol was created in 1963 by Kramer Miller Lomden Glassman Inc., a Philadelphia-based design firm.[2] The firm, also known as KMLG, was active in Philadelphia during the 1960s and 1970s, and is documented for its work on the 1975 Liberty Bell postage stamp for the United States Postal Service.[3]
Dynastructures, Inc. was listed among Philadelphia companies in The Book of American Trade Marks, a compilation edited by David E. Carter that catalogued corporate identity designs of the period.[1] The logo database Logos & Brands categorizes Dynastructures as a space engineering brand from the United States.[2]
Beyond the 1963 design date and the attribution to Kramer Miller Lomden Glassman Inc., little verifiable documentation survives about the company itself or the specific design brief behind the mark. The logo is described by the database as featuring angular and arrow-like forms, consistent with the geometric visual language common in mid-century corporate identity work.[2]
Meaning and Symbolism
No primary source documentation has been found that explains the intended symbolism of the Dynastructures mark. The company name combines “dyna,” suggesting dynamic force, with “structures,” pointing to engineered construction, but the specific design intent behind the logo itself is not documented in available sources.
