Er, no. While NASA may not have a logo (although I seem to connect the
name always with a certain font where the "A" doesn't have a horizontal
bar), Amazon and IBM do have a logo: Amazon has[1] a black triangle with
a white meandring river in it (presumably the Amazon in an "A"). IBM has
an intersection of the three letters "IBM" with horizontal bars.

[1] Make that "had". I just visited their web site and that logo isn't
there any more. Instead they have the name amazon.com in two different
fonts with a stupid orange arrow from the a to the o.
