Media are invited to hear a discussion on the design and cultural significance of the worm logotype with NASA and its creator Richard Danne at 11:30 a.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 6, at the agency\u2019s headquarters in Washington.<\/p>\n

The logotype, a simple, red unique type style of the word NASA, replaced the agency\u2019s official logo (meatball) for several decades beginning in the 1970s before it was retired. The worm has since been revived for limited use.<\/p>\n
