Earlier this evening (September 28, 2008), SpaceX made history when its Falcon 1 became the first privately-developed, liquid-fueled launch vehicle to reach orbit.

The flight's press kit included the logo for the historic launch:

I don't know if embroidered patches were produced (SpaceX's website does not include a company store), but it would make a nice collectible.

(Falcon 1, Flight 3's insignia included a tribute to Gordon Cooper.)

These emblems certainly have a different character than NASA-type patches. However, I can't describe how they are different. Anybody, perhaps an artist, have any ideas what it is?

Does anyone know if Space X is planning on selling Falcon 9 and/or Dragon (COTS) patches?
