NASA history at a glance
At the end of the 1950s, a crazy space race began between the two largest world powers at the time - the USA and Russia. It happened after the success of the Russian launch of the first artificial Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957. In response, the President of the United States DD Eisenhower took the initiative to create the NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Act] which finally took place on July 29, 1958 r.
After several months of activity, the organization had its insignia in the form of seals and also less official badges used on equipment, uniforms, etc. Most of it was created between 1959 and 1961 and their hallmark is its round shape, with a ball symbolizing the planet, stars representing space and An alternative shaped vision of the Andromeda constellation referring to the science of aeronautics.
However, in 1974 it was decided that the logotype you see above should change and become more modern. NASA's Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn are responsible for his final appearance. The agency's modernist logo, commonly referred to as the "worm", is a red, stylized rendering of NASA letters, which has been withdrawn as an official logo since 1992, although it can be used for special occasions and for commercial purposes.
Although the insignia, the worm logo and the NASA seal are in the public domain, their use is restricted. NASA emblems should be reproduced as a result of reproduction of existing versions. So you can find the popular logo on clothes - jackets, sweatshirts, T-shirts or pants of the brand that has them under relevant agreements.
