Atlas V missions using a 4-meter payload fairing have the unique distinction of a hand-painted mission logo. Here’s a behind the scenes look at the process.

Interesting to see they paint over fairings made of thin layers of cork and aluminium and that over spray is a no no (weight). The logo painter does a great job hand painting over all those ridges.
Like others at collectSPACE, I enjoy the mission logos and I quite liked the WGS SV2 logo with the upright platypus clutching a sextant/compass.
