NASA's insignia for SpaceX's Crew-8 mission to the International Space Station depicts a Dragon spacecraft launching toward the orbital outpost with its engines firing in the shape of a dragon curled as the number eight.

Though subtle in its changes (new outer blue outline, larger font for the names, “sunrise” pattern altered, etc.), here is the final artwork for the Crew-8 patch:
The official insignia of the SpaceX Crew-8 mission. Dragon Crew-8, composed of NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Grebenkin, is ready to stand the watch on its mission to maintain a continuous human research presence in low-Earth orbit represented by the never-ending path of a Latin numeral 8 with the dragon bowing with respect to the destination, the International Space Station.
