Title
NASA "Meatball" Logo
Full Description
First designed in 1959, this NASA seal has commonly been known
as the "meatball" logo. After an official seal was designed, this
emblem proposed by James Modarelli, the head of Lewis’ Research
Reports Division, was used as the more informal of the two. The
sphere represents a planet, the stars symbolize space, and the
red chevron signifies aeronautics (the latest design in
hypersonic wings in 1959) with an orbiting spacecraft around the
wing. Please see
NASA "Meatball" Logo for more information.
