About Astro National
Back in 1967, when Edward B. Effrein established an insurance agency he chose close to 15 names, all of which were denied by the state of Illinois because they were too similar to names of existing insurance companies. Perhaps more out of frustration than genius, the name Astro was chosen as America sets its sights on putting the first man on the moon.
It was NASA’s space program and President Kennedy’s directive that America become the first nation to land on the moon that inspired Astro National’s first logo. It consisted of a lunar-like surface looking back at the earth. The message within the logo was quite clear and reflected our nation’s pride, determination and commitment to achieving this new goal. Astro National’s goal then, and now, remains essentially unchanged. Our pride, determination and commitment to meeting the insurance and financial needs of our clients remain as strong as ever.
In the early 1990s, we changed the face of our corporate logo to that of a globe representing the earth. That globe more accurately spoke to our efforts as we became involved with new clients and insurance companies in Europe, as well as the Pacific Rim. As the world of business became more global in nature, so too did the composition of Astro’s clientele. As a consequence, we began to view our clients’ needs from an international perspective. This expansion presented new challenges as the efforts to create solutions for international risk management issues was addressed. Ultimately, creating solutions for the needs of our international clients and combining them with highly skilled customer service has secured our reputation in the marketplace.
In retrospect, as forward-looking as Edward B. Effrein may have been, it is certainly remarkable how prophetic that first vision was, as our business is now truly global in scope.
