A 3D-effect acrylic magnet based on General Dynamics/Worlds Without End, 1957, by Erik Nitsche.
In 1955 General Dynamics hired Swiss designer Erik Nitsche as its in-house art director. His first major task was to develop a marketing campaign that reinforced General Dynamics as a leader in the defense industry while emphasizing its position at the forefront of scientific developments promoting international peace and prosperity. Nitsche's designs for General Dynamics became landmark works in graphic design history, merging sleek modernism with abstractions reflecting the complexities of science.
Technology from General Dynamics’s Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program was used during the Space Race as part of numerous NASA launch systems. In this humbling design, a miniscule Atlas rocket skirts by a black hole and several galaxies, underscoring the infinite promise of space exploration.
