| The Mars '98 Logo is the winner of a contest
sponsored by NASA in 1998. It was designed by David Seal,
an engineer for JPL. He has designed many of NASA's
mission logos, including Mars Pathfinder, Mars Global
Surveyor, and Cassini. On the bottom left hand side, is a drawing of the Mars Climate Orbiter. On the bottom right hand side, is a drawing of the Mars Polar Lander. The center is a drawing of Mars. "The central idea of this insignia is shown in the globe of Mars, which is split down the middle to depict what Mars may have looked like in the past (on the left) and what it looks like today (on the right)," said Seal. "This illustrates the science objectives of the mission, which are to study the history of Mars' climate and the behavior of related volatiles, such as water vapor and ground ice."
