But no mention of how 'Astounding Science Fiction' transitioned to 'Analog Science Fact/Fiction'? Same magazine, same content, same impact... Meh! It was a gradual morphing of the titles, spread over several issues. Campbell preserved the 'symbols', which appeared on the top corner; these were intended to symbolize some abstract concept, such as 'analogy'. (Such a symbol is visible in the final picture: the radiating pattern on the top left. Nope, I don't know what it means, and I don't have that issue to hand. But it's not part of Freas' painting.) It was all part of Campbell's mission to get readers to think, and speculate. Last point, not mentioned anywhere in the article: Campbell's ASF dispensed with the old sexist covers of damsels in distress, and instead focused on science, engineering, and symbolism. He insisted that covers be as accurate as current scientific knowledge allowed.
