The story behind the patch (via X):
The mission emblem for this manned flight was co-designed by Ding Yi and Wu Linhua, two designers from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts.

The visual center of the logo captures the moment of rendezvous and docking between the Shenzhou-19 manned spacecraft and the space station complex, while both fly around the Earth and draw a beautiful arc.

The number "19" is integrated into the Chinese dragon element, dancing up, like a spaceship rushing out of the Earth, and the color is consistent with the spacecraft, making the logo harmonious and unified in color.

The logo also has 19 surrounding stars to match the missions numbering.

The outer ring of the logo is red and yellow, representing the flag of the People's Republic of China. In order to reflect the depth and mystery of the universe, the interior is dark blue, and the Earth background is light blue, which distinguishes the atmosphere, the ocean, and the land. The main body of the space station and the Shenzhou-19 manned spacecraft is white, which reflects the sense of science and technology and contrasts with the background color.

In the initial draft, the mission number "19" of our logo is represented by a red "Chinese dragon unifying its color with the space station assembly. At the same time, we also made different attempts on the composition and color matching of the space station, and formed the final submission version."

"After repeated trial and error, we chose to reduce the gradient color and enhance the contrast of the logo color to enhance the recognition. An embroidered version was formed."

Ding Yi: "We strive to show respect for the exploration of science and technology, and to integrate the curiosity of the unknown into the design of the logo; It is not only part of the history of spaceflight, but also a symbol of human courage and innovation.

"It is hoped that this logo will inspire more people's enthusiasm for science and contribute to our common spirit of exploration. May this logo become a 'star' in the universe and witness the glorious moment of mankind in space."

Wu Linhua: "The Shenzhou-19 manned mission logo was recognized and adopted, I am deeply honored, which is not only an affirmation of me as a designer, but also a praise for my teaching career."
