I thought it was called "the meatball" ?


The meatball had replaced the worm. The meatball is out. The worm is back.

That's not quite true. The worm (70's), replaced the meatball (50's), which
replaced the worm (90's?) which replaced the meatball (now).

They seem to be co-existing for the moment. There were meatballs on
the sides of the crew transports, and worms on the back decks. I
didn't see if there was a meatball somewhere on Falcon or Dragon, but I
did notice that they broke with the PDF by having the worm on Falcon
parallel to the cylindrical axis ... which means rotated when on the
pad. "9. The logotype should never be shown on a vertical axis. It
is designed to rest on its horizontal base*line." (pg 10).
