Houston, we have… immaculate design. First published in 1975 by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, NASA’s Graphics Standards Manual wasn’t just branding—it was a bold, futuristic vision for an agency literally reaching beyond the stars. This iconic manual set the stage for the legendary “worm” logotype and a design system as sleek and forward-looking as the missions themselves.

This edition faithfully reproduces the original manual from Danne’s own copy, complete with the historic 35mm slide presentation, the follow-up Managers Guide, and essays that give you insider context on how design met the space age. Packaged in its own static shielding pouch, it’s as much artifact as book—proof that graphic design really can be rocket science.
