    As a non-native speaker, definitely a ressource I should read.

  And to think this would have been put together in the pre-PC/desktop publishing era. Total gem.

  If you're interested in a hard copy, these guys did a beautiful print run of it: https://standardsmanual.com/products/nasa-graphics-standards-manual https://standardsmanual.com/products/nasa-graphics-standards...

  It's super retro, but part of me kind of likes the NASA "worm" logo over the "meatball". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_insignia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_insignia

    Its not retro at all. To me it's timeless modernism/futurism. They should switch back.

    Yeh the font on meatball is generic. Worm is iconic.
