The modern Ludum Dare logo began by modifying glyphs from Null by FontFabric. I liked the weight of the font, and some of the thematic notes, specifically the curvyness. It reminded me of the old NASA and CN logos. I took the font in a more curvy direction, and only a handful of glyphs bare resemblence to the original inspiprations.
Original inspiration for the logo.
I've always been a fan of the original NASA logo. The wormyness is a super interesting aesthetic to me. When I first discovered FontFabric's NULL font, I wanted a wormier version of that.
A fascinating piece on the CN logo
