To my eye the above looks too similar to the genuine NASA Insignia due to the use of the NASA "vector" and similar hue of blue.

IMO, the NSF logo should be updated to reflect 2 things:1. A more contemporary design language2. A better representation of what this site has evolved into since the days of Shuttle and post ISS build-out.
I rather like the current logo as-is, though it could have some additional variations for smaller, less color-rich uses, and ones where space may be an issue. For example, moving the "spaceflight.com" under the NASA and making the swoosh a negative-space element over the end of "NASA///" This version might be more efficient for labelling on smaller things, watermarking, tagging etc. while the main logo would be used everywhere else.(quick mockups on my laptop)
I don't have the ability to fiddle with graphics but another possibility is to make the \\\ each a different color. Yellow, Orange, and Red give the idea of thrust (at least it does as I'm swiping the concept from the STS-1 patch)If we stick generally with the same logo I do like it generally as Okan has done with the "spaceflight" in column with "nasa." I also like it with the swirling orbit removed as it seems to sort of off-balance the logo.

My friend has a new design in lieu of an overt reference to The Meatball.
Here's another version Ryan put together. This version gets rid of the potential confusion with the National Science Foundation that the previous designs had.
...or here's a quick idea based off Nathan's rocket garden render:

It emphasizes the "spaceflight" part of NSF and de-emphasizes the "NASA" part. The outlines of the different launchers also show this emphasis on a wide range of launchers, not just NASA launchers. It still emphasizes launchers, which is only a part of spaceflight, but I think it is going in the right direction.
