Launched on SpaceX's CRS-20 Dragon to the International Space Station on Friday (March 6, 2020), Delta Faucet's Droplet Formation Study is focused on the water flow of Delta's H2Okinetic showerhead technology.
The study has its own mission patch designed by John M. Knight.
The patch is a classical circular design with a blue border. On the border is the mission name on which the experiment is to be flown aboard (SpaceX Mission CRS20).
On the bottom of the border are the names; Patton, Marty and Hester. These are the names of the principal engineers from Delta and dlhBOWLES who designed the experiment; Paul Patton (DFC), Garry Marty (DFC), and Russell Hester (dhBowles).
The inner field shows Earth's Northern Hemisphere – where DFC is based. Above Earth is the destination for the experiment, the International Space Station. Below the ISS is the official name of the experiment, "Droplet Formation Study." Below the mission name to the left is a larger water droplet which contains the DFC logo. To the right of the droplet is a SpaceX Dragon cargo vessel that will carry the experiment to space.

I inquired and as far as the designer knows, it was never produced as actual patches.

John (M Knight) shared a photo of one of the patches today on Facebook.
Finally got to see my design as a real patch! I was able to see one of my coworkers today at KSC for a few minutes! She had one of the patches on her.
