Warner Bros.’ Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck Featured on NASA Mars Mission Logos
According to a press release from Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that two of
Warner Bros.' fan-favorite Looney Tunes characters, Marvin the
Martian and Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers, will be featured on the
official "1st Space Launch Squadron" patches for a pair of NASA Mars
Exploration Rover Missions scheduled for this summer.
These special logo patches will be worn by the Team Delta crews, which will include members of NASA, the United States Air Force, and Boeing. Furthermore, the logos will be used in the mission control booth and at the Air Force 1SLS launch pad, and will be seen on the suits, jackets, and mugs used by crewmembers of mission control and the launch pad.
"Daffy Duck and Marvin the Martian struck us as such a perfect fit, capturing the fun and adventurous spirit of these important explorations, that we were delighted to be able to include them as honorary members of the team," said Captain David Krambeck of Team Delta.
"Well said," added Daffy, who plays the courageously cowardly Duck Dodgers on Cartoon Network/Warner Bros. Animation's new, original series, which is scheduled to debut this summer. "And check out the spiffy outfits."
"It is exciting that our characters, which for so many years have been associated with space adventures in the animated world, should now have a chance to become part of a real and important space exploration," said Warner Bros. Consumer Products Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Jordan Sollitto. "We are thrilled about teaming up with NASA on these exciting missions and are looking forward to giving our characters the opportunity to touch down upon the Red Planet."
"More accurately, the planet is an understated fiery umber," interjected Marvin. "I know."
Retailers should note that this exposure is sure to lead to increased consumer interest in Daffy, Marvin, and the entire Looney Tunes stable of beloved characters, for which a listing of available related products can be found below.
