About the NASA "worm"....

[dhanners]

Some interesting history:
NASA’s 1975 Graphics Standards Manual is reissued via Kickstarter by Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth of Pentagram.

I like the meatball, I liked the worm I was always in favor of both.

I like both markings too, and I like the worm logo space shuttles too.

I agree...I like both but I am edging more towards the meatball....

I love them too!

Love the logo on the aircraft the most although all are very evocative.

I never particularly cared for the worm logo... just seemed so BLAND... stylistic nonsense...

I was really glad when NASA returned to the meatball logo... it's classic looking.

I understand that there are those who don't like the meatball (I am NOT of of them), I can understand that it's kind of hard to replicate/draw, it doesn't scale down and retain a lot of detain, etc... But it certainly is a recognizable emblem. When my daughter was just a tiny thing, she knew that logo. At age 2 she could point at it and say NASA!

The worm, I never really liked. I mean I dig it, it was a 70's thing. Really simple to replicate, but dang it's as ugly to me as the dorky hair, bell bottoms and polyester shirts.

For myself it's the meatball logo hands down !!! It just speaks NASA...
