Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy with Russia's federal space agency Roscosmos each donned Orlan spacesuits adorned with the previously unseen embroidered emblem, which, like the Olympic Games, came as the result of an international effort. "The patch is done in bold colors and in a bit of a 'comic book' style," wrote Dutch artist Luc van den Abeelen, who designed the patch together with space patch enthusiast Jacques van Oene, in an e-mail to collectSPACE.com. "It shows a cosmonaut on a spacewalk in heavy perspective, with the Olympic torch prominently sticking out toward the viewer."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-111013a.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-111013b-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>
