About Kittle Industries

Kittle Industries trains the machines that will build on the Moon. Its game, Offworld Builder, lets players run construction machines on real NASA terrain of the Moon and Mars, and records every session as robot training data. Askesis, in development, packages that data and those environments for robotics and space teams. The company tests its soil and wheel physics against published NASA Glenn measurements and publishes where they miss.

Logo

Wordmark and monogram

The monogram is the chevron of the K followed by an I. Use the wordmark where there's room and the monogram where there isn't. This is a working version of the logo; a final vector drawing is coming.

The wordmark files use live Michroma text. They render correctly on web pages that load Michroma; convert the text to outlines before using them in print, slides or social images.
