Insignia help to foster team spirit. The NASA Insignia in its various representations embodies the brand. With NASA it as always been seen as a 'Can do' agency. It is inspirational and will deliver the Moon. Mars and Beyond given sufficient funding.
This is the original NASA design, referred to as the "Meatball".
This emblem is NASA's second official insignia. It is now also the official, having replaced the NASA worm design. It is nearly identical to the NASA Original that was used during all the Mercury flights, but as early as the Gemini 3 mission a slight design change was made. The red winged vector was extended beyond the circular border of the NASA Original and the size was increased from 2.5 inches in diameter to three inches. The emblem is unofficially known as the NASA "Vector".
The NASA Insignia contains the following elements:
The sphere represents a planet
The stars represent space
The vector represents aeronautics
The orbit represents space travel
The third official NASA insignia is a modern, simplistic emblem. The emblem is rectangular with approximate dimensions of 1.5 inches high by four inches long. It features a white fully embroidered background with flame red continuous script lettering which simply reads "NASA". Unofficially, it has become known as the NASA "Worm". This emblem has been replaced with the NASA vector design as the official logo.
All of the insignia are available through the SPACEBOOSTERS Online Store.
