h6. Official Seal
Sharing most of the same elements as the "meatball" logo the official seal is reserved for formal events. It depicts a yellow sphere representing a planet with an orbital around it and a red v-shaped wing on it, these are on a blue fading to black background filled with stars and another sphere. The full title National Aeronautics and Space Administration circles the image with USA written on the bottom.
