[edit] Two or three NASA logos?

The article says that the Seal and the Insignia (according to the text the insignia is the original "meatball", not the "worm") are optically incompatible. How can this be if they are identical ("The original design and now official NASA Seal")? Are we actually talking about three logos (of which only two are shown by image)? And why is the original design called "meatball"? If it were just "ball", ok. But "meat"...?--SiriusB 17:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

There are three insignia. I have added the NASA seal. Calwatch 06:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• ~* Why does the Insignia say meatball and thus the seal says worm? *~*

[edit] Sphere?

I don't see a sphere in the NASA Insignia yet the description describes one. Am I missing something or have they confused their description with the NASA Seal? Clan-destine 17:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The blue ball background of the logo is the sphere mentioned. jtowns 06:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worm

I'd heard that the 'A' and the 'S' in 'NASA' are conjoined to emphasize the union of aeronautics and space. I am unable to find reference material on this, however. LorenzoB 04:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Order of images

Perhaps they could be placed in order of their design and then listed that way in the article? --12.217.237.175 (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
