Sec. 1221.108  Establishment of the NASA Unified Visual Communications System.

    (a) The NASA Administrator directed the establishment of a NASA 
Unified Visual Communications System. The system was developed under the 
Federal Design Improvement Program initiated by the President in May 
1972. This system is the Agencywide program by which NASA projects a 
contemporary, business-like, progressive, and forward-looking image 
through the use of effective design for improved communications. The 
system provides a professional and cohesive NASA identity by imparting 
continuity of graphics design in all layout, reproduction art, 
stationery, forms, publications, signs, films, video productions, 
vehicles, aircraft, and spacecraft markings and other items. It creates 
a unified image which is representative and symbolic of NASA's 
progressive attitudes and programs.
    (b) The Associate Administrator for Public Affairs is responsible 
for the development and implementation of the NASA Unified Visual 
Communications System. With the development of the NASA Unified Visual 
Communications System, the Office of Public Affairs at NASA Headquarters 
created the NASA Graphics Standards Manual and the NASA Insignia 
Standards Supplement which are the official guides for the use and 
application of the NASA Insignia and the NASA Unified Visual 
Communications System.
    (c) The Associate Administrator for Public Affairs, NASA 
Headquarters, has designated a NASA Graphics Coordinator to implement 
and monitor Agencywide design improvements in consonance with the NASA 
Graphics Standards Manual, the NASA Insignia Standards Supplement, and 
the NASA Unified Visual Communications System. The NASA Graphics 
Coordinator will develop and issue changes and additions to the manual 
as required and as new design standards and specifications are developed 
and approved. Copies of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual and the NASA 
Insignia Standards Supplement may be obtained directly from the NASA 
Graphics Coordinator, Office of Public Affairs, NASA Headquarters.
    (d) The Director of each Field Installation has designated an 
official to serve as Graphics Coordinator for his/her Installation. The 
Director, HQ Operations Division, has designated an official to serve as 
the Headquarters Graphics Coordinator. Any changes in these assignments 
shall be reported to the NASA Graphics Coordinator, NASA Headquarters, 
Code POS.
    (e) Graphics Coordinators are responsible for ensuring compliance 
with the NASA Graphics Standards Manual, the NASA Insignia Standards 
Supplement, and the NASA Unified Visual Communications System for their 
respective Installations.
