NASA's Iconic 'Meatball' Logo Celebrates 65 Years

TL;DR Summary
NASA's iconic "meatball" logo, introduced in 1959, celebrates its 65th anniversary despite attempts to replace it with the "worm" logo in 1975. The meatball, featuring a blue circle with stars, the word "NASA," and a red chevron, remains closely associated with the agency, while the simpler worm logo, introduced to mark the end of the Apollo era, has also made a comeback in recent years. Both logos are now used within NASA, reflecting different eras of the agency's history.
