NYPinTA, that would have been an awesome idea. But I remember there being a huge brouhaha over it when they changed it, people (me) we really upset. Not only did it not need to be updated, but the original is to this day one of the greatest logos ever designed. I mean, remember when logo designers would actually make up their own fonts?

For their 50th they should have gone retro and unveiled a new new logo that was just like the old. Ah well. Maybe for their 75th.

Caption under the new one threw me. My powers of observation to logos lately, are in dry-dock, eh? I thought the ‘wormy’ one was still in use. I like it! Spacey-er I think.
WTF? The ‘new’ one looks out-of-date, like something from a Disney Flight to Mars flick. And the ‘old’ one looks fresh, like something you’d see on patches of crew members in a good scifi movie!
Oh NASA, we hardly knew ya …

Sorry, I guess I didn’t make it very clear: the top one, the spermy one, is the NEW logo. The original one is the black and white one, referred to as “the worm” logo.

Just realized, the original logo looks like Space Spermy trying to sneak it’s way into that big red ‘V’ … heh hehheh
