The late Jim Irwin's Christian organization "High Flight" had a logo which I imagine is fairly well known in these circles. Amongst other places I have seen it on his business cards and once hand drawn by him after his signature. However it has always been in black and white.I've noticed for a while now patches listed on eBay similar to this one:  Does anyone know if this color version has any basis in the reality of the High Flight organizational literature, offices, etc., or is it recent fantasy? |

David, Jim Irwin's daughter runs a Facebook page under his name, she may know. |

Thanks. I had a look at that page, and the foundation website, and the logo is black and white with the writing inside the orbits. I have seen a color business card, without the white "shine", also with the writing inside the orbits. I'm guessing this is an "inspired by" patch and unofficial. I'll ask the current lister. |

I would just add, that in terms of "recent". I have a simliar patch, that I picked up back in 1996. Also color. So it has been around for a long while. | |
