Reposted by Scott BoyleMeasured @measured.co · 29/05/2025The identity manuals and style guides of the late 20th century were a big influence on modern design systems. NASA’s 1976 Graphics Standards Manual is a great exmple — covering everything from letterheads to spacecraft insignia. Just for fun, we looked back to see what still holds up today… 233
