Soyuz MS-12 patch spotted today. Very nice, mostly mirrored, image of the Soyuz MS-10 patch.

That's neat and the way they kept the original design concept with a slight change in orientation.
Reminds me of the STS-83 and STS-94 patches where they reflew the same crew for 94 and just changed the outer ring color from red to blue.

The double border is symbolising their second attempt?

I took this photo in Roscosmos on their banner in January.

This is the official description:
The patch is based on the graphic design for the Soyuz MS-10 crew, composed of Alexei Ovchinin and Nicholas Hague. The composition of the new emblem is mirrored relative to the original one, with the name of Christina Cook added to the design. A double border indicates the second attempt of Ovchinin and Hague to achieve orbit.
The triangular shape of the emblem personifies the unity of the three members of the spaceship crew which is shown flying above the Earth. The top corner of the emblem indicates the direction upwards, recalling that the crew is flying from Earth to the International Space Station. Behind our blue planet, Russian and American flags are flying, indicating the international character of the flight. The number of stars in the flag of the United States symbolize the number of crew members.
A silhouetted owl in flight, symbol of wisdom, spreading its wings against the blackness of space, symbolizes the contribution to science, the achievements of which are multiplied by research on the ISS. The bright golden silhouette of the space station is visible on the right side of the design - the main objective of the crew’s flight.
To the left is the Moon - a daunting task and the goal of future research. The Roscosmos logo is at the top of the emblem, above the astronauts' names. The name of the spacecraft is located in the centre of the design.

Are there commercial versions of this patch available (or for that matter for other Soyuz flights)?

Not sure what you mean precise, but yes the original Soyuz patches are available to collectors.

Congrats,Flying Dutchmen, for your 41st patch on the Soyuz crew space suits. All were into the Soyuz capsule after liftoff. Only one landed from the 44 km altitude after ejection.
But according to my information Alexei Ovchinin got back from the capsule the MS-10 panels with the logo and took some with him this time together with the MS-12 panels! Let's wait and see photos.

I've not kept track of all the Soyuz/ISS designations. How is the number sequence ordered? Obviously there have been more than 10 or 12 Soyuz flights to ISS. So why is this one designated 12? Thank you.

There have been several different models (versions) of the Soyuz to fly crews to the International Space Station since missions began in 2000. The numbering is based on model and order.
The ISS program started with Soyuz TM (31-34), then Soyuz TMA (1-22), Soyuz TMA-M (1M-20M) and now Soyuz MS (01-12, at present).
MS-12 is the 57th Soyuz spacecraft to dock to the International Space Station (the 58th to launch on a mission aimed there).

Where can one (in the U.S.) purchase a Soyuz MS-12 patch?

As far as I understand Koch will not land with Ovchinin and Hague. Would the logo for the landing be modified with a different name instead of Koch?

I'm sure it will... similar to Whitson being added to the MS-04 patch for the landing.

Not the clearest view, but it appears the emblem was updated to replace Koch's name with AlMansoori's on the display at the front of mission control in Moscow (via NASA TV):

Which is curious as a special landing version of the Soyuz MS-12 art and patch were prepared, replacing Koch's name with Almansoori's and the ISS silhouette with a Soyuz DM under parachute.

It also appears that Ovchinin and Hague wore the original (launch version with Koch) Soyuz MS-12 patch for landing. AlMansoori wore the Soyuz MS-15 patch.

The one shown on MCC-M screen looks like a combination of the two.

I think the one in mission control is just the launch patch with the name change.
Otherwise, the only differences with the landing patch are the addition of the UAE flag and the swap of the space station for the Soyuz descent capsule descending under parachute.

I was in Moscow last week and spoke to Alexei Ovchinin Friday.
He told me he got the MS-12 landing patches with Soyuz capsule on parashute and AlMansoori instead of Koch with the MS-13 crew in July. They were supposed to change patches on their Sokols but had no time.
But he handed the landing patches to Hague and AlMansoori. Ovchinin came to Moscow with this patch on his shoulder. He confirmed it to me personally.
And we can see this patch on his blue suit on the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre video (Ovchinin speaking in the plane on his way back to Moscow).

Yes, Jacques van Oene has them available to buy from today, Wednesday 9th October. Two versions, one with the name in Latin and one with the name in Arabic, (see below). Both €10.00 each + €6.00 shipping.

Here is the three-piece Soyuz MS-12 souvenir set — banner, decal, and pin — from RKK Energia. I acquired the set through a friend in Russia.
