‘A Proposal To Go Where No NASA Logo Has Gone Before’

I am just loving the awesome logo redesign project by BASE for The Future Laboratory magazine. What funner logo redesign could there be?

i dont have a problem with NASA’s current logo, but i do agree it looks a bit dated, but it also suits those retro space posters!

NASA before:

and NASA after:

The first thing we see in NASA’s previous logos is that perennial truth that what looks futuristic today looks passe tomorrow. And of course tomorrow comes faster today than it did yesterday. We also wanted to avoid anything that would be too techy—NASA isn’t about technology; it’s about using technology as a vehicle for doing and going and discovering. So we went with a fairly neutral typeface that won’t look immediately dated. But we also wanted to de-emphasize the name in the logo to create more of a symbol that would be universally understood. So we eclipse the name with a giant sphere, which could be Earth or any other planet. In this way, we don’t get rid of the “meatball”; it’s still there, you just don’t see it.
