Lovely set of old VHS box graphics. I grew up with this stuff, and never really paid attention to it then, but looking at it now makes me appreciate the designs much more.

NASA Graphic Standards Manual – 1976
As some of you already know, I’m a little obsessed with finding vintage design materials, especially graphics manuals like this one for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. So you can imagine how far my jaw dropped when I saw this 1976 NASA Graphics Standards Manual. Created by design firm Danne & Blackburn in 1975, this manual outlines the proper use of, in my opinion, one of the best brand identities of the last century. One lucky soul has managed to get some hi-res scans of the some of the pages. The hunt has officially begun.
UPDATE: Tim has kindly documented more pages from the manual, and posted them to his Flickr.
