The book NASA Graphics Standards Manual offers a stunning archive of one of the most iconic visual identity systems ever created. Edited by Bruce Blackburn and Richard Danne, it presents the original guidelines developed for the space agency—including logo usage, colour palettes, typography and graphic rules—in a format that reflects the clarity and precision of the work itself. With over 220 pages of full‑colour reproductions of the original 1975 document and commentary on its development, the book acts as both historic artifact and graphic‑design bible. It's printed large format with high‑quality stock, giving it the presence of a design object. Ideal for graphic designers, brand strategists and creative historians, it both informs and inspires. Whether spread open on a table or browsed for insight, the volume invites deep visual engagement. More than a manual, it’s a celebration of how thoughtful visual identity can reflect—and shape—an organisation’s mission.
