The design story of NASA's "worm" logo, sadly retired

The worm feels like the 1980’s like nobody’s business. Clean lines that computers can recreate and scale as needed. The meatball says everything great about 1960’s design, hand hewn and detailed.

The Canadian National Railways CN logo (aka Tapeworm Rampant) was designed by Allan Fleming in 1959 and launched in 1960.

Fleming also designed the much-imitated Ontario Hydro logo (aka Horse’s Ass) in 1962, launched 1965.
