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.
