New York, NY (AHN) -- Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is now the first brand visible from space.

KFC Corp. created a 87,500 square-foot image of Colonel Sanders in the Nevada desert where they hope to become the favorite for space travelers and aliens alike.

KFC President Gregg Dedrick says, "If there are extraterrestrials in outer space, KFC wants to become their restaurant of choice."

"If we hear back from a life form in space today - whether NASA astronauts or a signal from some life form on Mars - we'll send up some Original Recipe Chicken."

According to Reuters, the logo consists of 65,000 one-foot by one-foot painted tile pieces that were assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The logo was built at the remote Area 51 desert near Rachel, Nevada, which KFC said was known as the UFO capital of the world and famous for its association with UFO conspiracy theories.
