Here's an early view of the NASA CREW-7 patch. This is in the stitching machine format so the final product will look nicer. There's a pic circulating with it on cake icing which has the astronaut names.Here's how Conrad/AB Emblem use the designs:vimeo.com/418648643

Our Crew-7 mission patch is something deeply meaningful to me. I hope it is as meaningful and symbolic to each individual at @NASA @esa @JAXA_jp @roscosmos @SpaceX, as well as all our family and friends who have contributed to our upcoming Crew-7 mission to the @Space_Station! Please see below for our patch description. Go #Crew7!!Central to the Crew-7 patch is the colorful Earth, with its beauty and magnificence standing out against the white dragon and black background. The caring dragon holds the Earth protectively, highlighting that every aspect of Crew-7’s long-duration mission is ultimately for the benefit of our home planet and those on it. The dragon is a shoutout to the namesake of the Crew Dragon capsule delivering the crew of four to and from the International Space Station. The dragon is on guard for threats against the Earth, its neck craned in the shape of a “7” to represent the seventh operational flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station. The dragon’s tail curves upwards towards a golden star, symbolizing the ascent towards the stars in honor of the pioneering spirit and perseverance that continue to propel us further in human space exploration.The colors blue, white, and red on the tail symbolize the international make-up of the four crew members, with the colors encompassing those used in the flags of all four nations – the United States of America, Denmark, Japan, and the Russian Federation. The crew is proud to represent the progress that can be achieved for all of humanity when we work together in unity. The Crew-7 astronauts would like to dedicate this patch to all those who contributed to the success of the Crew-7 mission, especially their families, and to the next generation of explorers.
As well as, how American tax payers were sold commercial crew puts Americans in orbit from vehicles built by Americans and launched from America, only to have a token American on board and the rest be foreign astronauts. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind foreign astronauts being on board, but this mix has gone too far for me.
