NASA's Iconic 'Meatball' Logo Celebrates 65 Years
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.
