The NASA Logotype Insignia

This logotype is the central element in NASA's visual communications system. Through consistent and repetitive use as a signature device and design element in all of NASA's visual communications, the logotype becomes a visual shorthand which identifies the Agency and symbolically embodies its activities, achievement and goals.

In the logotype, the letters NASA are reduced to their most simplified form, The strokes are all of one width, evoking the qualities of unity and technical precision Elimination of cross-strokes in the two "A" letters imparts a vertical thrust to the logotype and lends it a quality of uniqueness and contemporary character.

Technical Description:

The NASA Logotype design is solid stroke letterforms, shown freestanding horizontally against a solid neutral background.

The Logotype sizes are bas 1 on (a) desired effect (b) relative size of object on which applied and (c) considerations of any des an layout and reproductch. See NASA Graphics Star.durds Manual NHB 1430 2.

It is reproduced only photographically except that, for larger applications, the Logotype is reproduced using the grid shown in the Manual. Otherwise, the Logotype is never reproduced mechanically or by hand.

The preferred color of the NASA Logotype is NASA red (PMS 179), used only when a second color is available and appropriate. Against a white background, the Logotype may be shown in NASA red, black, or NASA warm grav. For background of other values, the Manual is to be consulted and followed.

§ 1221.104 Establishment of the NASA Logotype Insignia.
