Does red color on Russian rockets mean Remove Before Flight, as on US vehicles?

Do you think NASA would allow, or have they allowed, any sort of Olympic or other commemorative design upon the STS Orbiters or SRB's. I think it's great that Russia has done this. A small but very positive manner in celebrating the international competition and unity that the Olympic Games represent.
Maybe NASA can loosen their collars slightly and do something similar in 2022 Summer or 2024 Winter or in the future games upon the SLS stack?
Good luck for the upcomming 23:14:15hrs EST (11:14:15 PM EST) launch and the 05:31:42hrs EST (5:31:42am EDT) docking.

I wonder if for once this launch gets some coverage in the UK media because of the Olympic connection, can but hope so.

RED among other colors, usually a red plastic cap AND a red ribbon.
If you take the post-launch pad tour and the bus brings you around back to view the flame pit, don't bother walking into the pit, it's scoured clean by the blast. Go away from the pad, across the access road, into the scrub brush there. All sorts of junk is tossed into the pit during launch prep, including lots of 'remove' covers and ribbons, and defective hardware, whatever, and it collects in the strewn field across the road. Bring bags to fill with cool souvenirs, you'll fill your hands and all your pockets within seconds.

Good article. Is that the actual Olympic torch? I thought I read somewhere that it was a replica.

It is not a replica, in there is no one original. 14,000 torches are being used in the terrestrial relay. The torch onboard TMA-11M had its gas reservoir temporarily removed and a tether added, but will be one of the torches used in the opening ceremonies on Feb. 7, 2014 in Sochi.
