I decided to explore the design from the three styles of "honor and solemnity, modern technology, and national style."When designing the Shenzhou 18 mission logo, in order to consider the systematicity and continuity with the previous mission logo, I chose the Chinese red commonly used by the Shenzhou spacecraft as the identification color. The design style is simple and modern, with a focus on technology. The overall appearance presents the appearance of the Medal of Honor. The main graphic is the main visual element of the Chinese space station logo, and the yellow line is used to emphasize the docking position and status of the current mission spacecraft and the space station. The mission number "18" is designed in a technological style, and a blue circle extends upward, representing the thriving Chinese space industry. The numbers are used as the background to emphasize the mission sequence and improve the logo recognition and memorability. The 18 shining stars on the blue background correspond to the mission number "18."</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>KAPTEC</TD><TD>Thanks for the explanation Luc.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>lucspace</TD><TD>Best view of the embroidered patch so far: <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/lucspace/shenzhou_18_patch01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/lucspace/shenzhou_18_patch01.jpg" width="400" height="394" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>AB Emblem is <A HREF="https://space.abemblem.com/products/shenzhou-18" TARGET=_blank>now offering</A> the Shenzhou 18 patch:<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/shenzhou18_patch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/shenzhou18_patch02.jpg" width="400" height="400" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Kevin T.
