I like the simplicity and use of the Earth-rise. And I understand the desire to not just commemorate the first moon landing, but everyone involved in the entire Apollo program. However, I think that the designer(s) should have included something from Apollo 11. Therefore, I have attached my rough revision.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>thisisajob</TD><TD>Congratulations NASA on yet another uninspired logo. I don't know what else to say - maybe hire some graphic artists outside the agency? Boring fonts and a lifeless image - the eagle adds a lot to the overall look. What's with the moon - does it even look right to anyone? What's with the color - brown? Come on!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>sathrus</TD><TD>I want to thank Jerry, Andrew, & Eric for making the Apollo 11 40 Ann. patch it will add nicely to my collection.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Here is NASA's 40th logo animation:<CENTER><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6P0aWsZIGi0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6P0aWsZIGi0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></CENTER></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>bernoullis</TD><TD>I thought I would just add another patch to the 40th Anniversary 'mix'. Colin Mackellar's work on the Apollo 11 anniversary patch, which can also been seen above, gave me the impetus to have a go at a 'refresh' of the NASA Apollo patch.

We have some patches and stickers left over if anyone is interested in purchasing some (I'm just trying to recover most of the costs - I'm offering the stickers below cost). A photo is available with <a href="http://www.astro.cornell.edu/outreach/patches" target="AirLock">information about purchasing</a> at my website. The stickers are a beautiful high quality glossy image - the official NASA 40th Anniversary logo (3" x 3" square). The patches are 4" in diameter and are beautiful, with a felt background (based on the original Apollo 11 patch - very nice).</BLOCKQUOTE> Update: Nancy shares that the patches have sold out; decals are still available.Update: All the patches and decals are now sold out.</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
