NASA insignia
1959 NASA seal, black and white
1961 NASA seal, color
NASA "meatball" insignia, primary logo 1959–1975, 1992–present
NASA "worm" logotype 1975–1992, re-instated as a secondary logo in 2020
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) insignia has three main official designs, although the one with stylized red curved text (the "worm") was retired from official use from May 22, 1992, until April 3, 2020, when it was reinstated as a secondary logo. The three logos include the NASA insignia (also known as the "meatball"[1]), the NASA logotype (also known as the "worm"), and the NASA seal.[2][3][4]
The NASA seal was approved by President Eisenhower in 1959, and slightly modified by President Kennedy in 1961.[5][6]
