Is This Nasa's New Logo?

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 Is This Nasa's New Logo? A dramatic redesign of the classic Nasa logo has won huge plaudits online - despite being turned down by the agency.

In a clever bit of promotion, and to flex its design muscles, the agency Base Now independently decided to have another go. Back in 2010, they created an entirely new take on the logo which has just been profiled by Fast Company Design.
