In researching the Apollo 13 patch, I downloaded the highest resolution image I could find and I came across something interesting.

On the left leg of the horse on the right you can clearly see the initials "N T".

Now I'm aware this was based on the "Steeds of Apollo" painting by Lumen Winter. But in every site I've looked at there is no indication of another artist being involved. Gene's, Erik's, Chris' not one mention of an artist with the initials NT.

But then I remembered a post on cS about the artist behind the Apollo 16 patch hiding her initials on the lunar surface. So I thought this is something for the cS community to mull over.
