Official NASA Logo - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Emblem #2223679 (License: Personal Use)

This is the official NASA insignia, commonly called the “meatball,” designed in 1959 by James Modarelli. It features a blue circular field representing space, white stars for distant galaxies, a red vector symbolizing aeronautics and speed, and an orbiting spacecraft path encircling the bold “NASA” text. The design conveys motion, exploration, and the agency’s commitment to advancing human knowledge beyond Earth.

Used on official NASA websites, press releases, spacecraft, documentation, and educational materials; ideal for pages about space history, government agencies, STEM outreach, or aerospace branding.
