Blake Dumesnil has come forward (on Facebook) as the artist: Another crew patch in the books that's now been publicly revealed! The journey was long on the development of this patch for the SpaceX Crew 10 flight next year but Astronaut Nichole Ayers was such a pleasure to work with!! Can't say enough nice things about her! We were all really happy with the dragon's wings harmonizing with the Roman numeral X theme of the design. The crew had a wonderful vision for this design! |

I like it! Can't wait to see how vibrant it looks as an embroidered patch.

From NASA Johnson Space Center (via X): NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 patch was thoughtfully designed by the quartet themselves.The 10-sided patch has the roman numeral X in the center with a Dragon, also the capsule's namesake, with wings out in full flight to represent the four professional pilots that make up the crew. The red, white, and blue stars are the flag colors of each crew members' home country, and the brightest stars represent the crew's closest family members and support system. |

Of note, a slightly different story from the official description of the patch on the reverse of the SFA decal (as posted by Nicole Ayers): They used AI for initial inspiration, while the ever-irreplaceable human perfected the design and brought the patch to fruition. I wonder what the initial AI looked like compared to the final product. And I wonder why they needed to do that. |

Correction: The patches sold by ShopNASA (shown above) are not the patches manufactured by AB Emblem. The official AB Emblem-made patches are now listed by The Space Store and Skyforce Space Patches.
The horizontal yellow stitching along the dragon's upper wings, a smaller ISS, and no embedded labels these are the main giveaways. There are also some other slight colour difference in the lighter blue colour background stitching. The ShopNASA patch is also much smaller at 3.25" wide.The details on the embedded labels for the SpaceX Crew-10 AB Emblem 4.5" wide x 4" high patch are as follows; - 470649 A-B Emblem Made In USA 11 2420

I received my NASA shop version yesterday, it is small. I was wondering if there was an AB version, thanks. |

If it is like some of the other ShopNASA 3.5" patches (such as the designs for Apollo 11's 55th anniversary and this year's total solar eclipse), then they are from TCB Specialties, the promotional products company that provides the exchange store with its custom embroidered products. |
