Johnson Space Center designed an emblem for the recent spacewalks to install the first pair of International Space Station (ISS) Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSA) on the port 6 (P6) 2B and 4B power channels by Expedition 65 crewmates Shane Kimbrough of NASA and Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency (ESA).

The iROSA are augmenting the space station's legacy arrays, which after more than 20 years of service have begun to show signs of degraded power production. Four more iROSA (two more pairs) are to be installed later this year.

Thank you for the compliment Luc but no, this isn’t my work.

Now that I see this on my desktop and not focused on other things, I notice what Jorge is referring to...

The artist(s) lifted the Sun and Earth from our STS-126 patch and the EVA astronauts from the STS-64 patch.
