Identify me

Hm........... This looks retro-futuristic to me, like something you'd see in an issue of Modern Mechanix..., or some old sci-fi pulp...

I was thinking that too.... or a logo/intro image for some old sci-fi show, like Buck Rogers or something similar.

:D

They Look Like Some Kind Of Super-Particle Accelerators-The Kind I Would Use In An Elaborate Scheme To Defeat The Avengers And Conquer The World.
 
Yes, it looks like something that never left the drawing board. Some sort of device for observation or experimentation.
 
There is something very familiar about those images, though... something I can't quite put my finger on. It is really bugging me.
 
Okay, hints:

1. Messenger is right when he says that it never left the drawing board.

2. While it was not designed for scientific research, it was, in a big way, science-related.

3. This should help: It was designed in the 18th century.
 
Okay, last hint:

The structure is more well-known in the field of architecture than the field of science, although it represents something or someone very well-known in science.
 
It's a tough one for sure. The designs don't look geodesic and Buckminster Fuller wasn't born until the late 18th - early 19th century; so that kinds puts a dampener on that theory, and he wasn't really a scientist anyway.

Was this some sort of proposed project that was taken from blueprints from, perhaps, the Renaissance period?

I'm stabbing wildly in the dark here.
 
REALLY the last set of hints (this should do it):

1. The architect's more well-known, visionary works were never built, mostly due to sheer scale: He planned for the sphere to be 500 feet across.

2. Here is another one of his designs, for a library:

3. Not a planetarium, not an oversized lab, observatory or instrument. It's a monument to a specific person, whose remains are elsewhere.
 
Tough one. I'm coming up with fuckall on my searches, and I'm pretty good with flags.

I'm guessing the stylized animal is a whale and the blue represents the sea/ocean/whathaveyou.

You say it "was" a flag?
