The NASA Logotype standards manual.
The logotype was designed by Bruce N. Blackburn, and used from 1975 to 1992, when, shamefully, Daniel Goldin, then NASA Administrator, reverted to the previous design.
In Creative Review’s recent Logos issue, it was the only entry in the top 20 that was no longer in use.
