"NASA's Logo Evolution: Honoring Richard Danne and the Legacy of the Worm"

NASA honored Richard Danne, the designer of its iconic "worm" logo, by dedicating a large three-dimensional sign in the shape of the worm and awarding him the NASA Exceptional Public Achievement Medal. The worm logo, introduced in 1975 and retired in 1992 before making a comeback in 2020, has become universally loved and recognized. The simple and sleek design of the worm logo resonated with people and continues to inspire the next generation. The meatball logo, NASA's previous insignia, was complex and messy in comparison. Both logos now have a place at NASA, representing the agency's past, present, and future.
