Style Guide: NASA Insignia

The NASA logo should be presented in a clear and consistent way throughout the portal and the network of sites (through visual affinity).

  • Display against a white, black, or gray (#CCCCCC) background only
  • The insignia should never appear against a full color photograph
  • A white line should never appear around the insignia
  • Never modify or distort the insignia in any way, whether by adding, eliminating or otherwise changing design elements
  • Because of the detail contained in the NASA insignia, avoid reducing it to small sizes when possible. 50 x 50 pixels is the minimum (approximate) size that the insignia can be reduced to for use in the UI. (see example in the footer on NASA.gov)
  • The text should never be illegible
