Just wondering, is this the first time that SpaceX has had a 4 leaf clover on their mission patch design? If so, I'm guessing it's tying in with the mission # being 13.

All SpaceX flight patches have had a four leaf clover since the fourth launch of the Falcon 1. The first three launches of the Falcon 1 failed; the fourth had a clover on its mission patch and was a success. Ever since then, the clover has been present.
