But it works. The space agency uses two different logos to perfect effect.
The noodle is just too iconic and unique to abandon.
Didn’t they try to retire it?
- But space fans just love it so much. The decision to drop it meant, paradoxically, that the logo proliferated and multiplied everywhere else. It was a sort of Streisand effect, instead of dying and slowly disappearing it became a retro symbol. So they brought it back.
Your comment got formatted as a numbered list! (At least it did on the client I’m using). I think you can fix it by putting a backslash before the period, like
1992\. But space fans..
What a useless article
Yeah, this didn’t teach me ANYTHING about how to make a quick buck! Anything else is just CLICKBAIT 😠
Seriously though, if you think that article is useless, you should read your comment.
Why are you attributing opportunistic features to your implied statements of mine?
fastcompany was writing click bait shit before ‘click bait’ became a term.
The meatball is butt ugly. The font and the red wiggly thing don’t look good.
But it’s NASA, so I would happily get it tattooed on my face, should the need ever arise.
The worm, on the other hand, is perfect.
Maybe I’m too young but I love the meatball. It looks like exploration, adventure, science and fun. The worm looks too military to me.
The meatball definitely has a Star Trek vibe, which I’m here for.
The worm logo was heavily featured in Starfield. I liked how they incorporated actual NASA in the game. Same with the real books.
In the mid-eighties Jet Propulsion Laboratory updated its logo to match the worm. In the 1990s, NASA brought the meatball back due to popular demand.
Personally, I like the moon, mars and beyond logo, but that’s a probe division logo.
Oh and Space Force’s Asteroids arrow came before Star Trek as the USAF Space Command logo. Desilu borrowed and stylized it.
