Da Vinci's drawing, based on the proportions of man as described by the Roman architect Vitruvius, is often used as a symbol of symmetry of the human body and the universe as a whole. Almost perfect in symmetry as well, the International Space Station, with its solar wings spread out and illuminated by the first rays of dawn, is pictured as a mighty beacon arcing upwards across our night skies, the ultimate symbol of science and technology of our age. Six stars represent the six members of Expedition 37 crew, which includes two cosmonauts with a medical background, as well as a native of Da Vinci's Italy.</div></BLOCKQUOTE> [/B][/QUOTE]

I also played a small role myself: I made the drawing of the ISS and produced the final vector version. NASA only changed some of the colors slightly and by doing so, unfortunately highlighted some masking lines around the flags. The original image can be found <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spacepatches/8015092100/sizes/l/in/set-72157631602394102/" target="_blank">here</a>.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>dogcrew5369</TD><TD>I really like the new version. Shades of Skylab 2. So, the first design is void and done? If so, would it be collectible as a rarity?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>hoorenz</TD><TD>It will be rare in the sense of availability, because AB Emblem has ceased production and distribution of the first patch. Is it rare as a collectible? Not in relation to the mission, in my opinion, because the first design was never intended to be the Expedition-37 patch. As such, it was also not 'replaced'.AB Emblem was instructed by NASA to produce and distribute the first patch as the result of a generic oversight in the approval process. This has affected earlier ISS patches as well (including Expedition-36) and has just recently been corrected. For that reason, if you are interested in the history of ISS crew patches in general, it might be worth collecting. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Voyager2012</TD><TD>I also saw that the lapel pin was also made of the original Expedition 37 patch. Does anyone know if they made the Spaceflight Awareness decal or not?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>hoorenz</TD><TD>I do not think any decalls were made.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Voyager2012</TD><TD>Thanks Erik. I didn't think so either. <IMG SRC="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/smile.gif"></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>dogcrew5369</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by hoorenz: ...the first design was never intended to be the Expedition-37 patch.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> As noted here the old patch was not intended to be the mission patch which confuses me. If it was approved by NASA and produced and then sold why was it never intended to be the official patch? That seems really odd to me unless I'm missing something. This is the first time I can recall this process being followed in respect to having a patch approved, manufactured and distributed. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Voyager2012</TD><TD>Yeah I was wondering about that myself. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>hoorenz</TD><TD>The process was apparently organized in such a way, that it was possible that a different design than the one the crew had submitted to NASA or was still working on, be officially approved. The error was caught before NASA released their own artwork for Expedition-37 (they never released it), but not before AB Emblem was ordered to produce and start distributing the embroidered patch. To prevent this from happening again, the approval process for the ISS crew patches was recently modified. The final artwork can no longer be approved without the signature of the Expedition commander and the other two 'leading' crew members. The signatures of the three 'joining' crew members is desired, but not required. Only if the crew is unable to reach consensus before a newly imposed L-18 month deadline, they will have to accept a 'generic' mission patch. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>PowerCat</TD><TD>Already having received the "first" version patch in my collection, I was very impressed with this official Expedition 37 patch. It looks fantastic. I can't wait to add this to my collection.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>AB Emblem has received approval of the new version of the Expedition 37 insignia. This emblem will be available in approximately two weeks. <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss37_patch03.jpg" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="400" BORDER="0"> Credit: AB Emblem</center></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
