Author	Topic: Jacques Tizou's novelty shuttle emblems
Cozmosis22 Member Posts: 968 From: Texas * Earth Registered: Apr 2011	posted 10-16-2017 05:00 PM Is anyone familiar with this strange decal printed blue on silver? Any guesses which space shuttle mission this represents and who may have designed it? Could be for the STS-84~Mir flight since there are eight crew nicknames noted?

I don't know if this was one of his, but French journalist Jacques Tiziou was fond of producing decals like this.
