Hey, in addition to the ARES III mission patches I have on eBay, I've just finished up designs for the two other missions in the book: the IRIS mission and the Taiyang Shen mission. They are the same 3-1/2" round embroidered style as the ARES III patch, but each has a different design. NOTE that these are fictitious missions, and are NOT featured in the movie version.Is anyone interested? |

Both missions are in the movie and there is at least one logo that appears in the film that I thought may have been associated with the Taiyang Shen. I also thought I saw a logo for the Iris mission in Mission Control, but it went by so quickly that it was difficult to tell. |

For reference, here is a look at a studio-produced patch (credit 20th Century Fox). The replica offered here comes close but is 3.5 inches versus what appears to be a 4-inch patch in the photo. Other differences: the bullets between the names are stars in the studio-produced patch and the yellow vector differs in thickness and shape.  |

NASA-style mission patches for the Taiyang Shen ARES III Resupply Mission and ARES IV Presupply/Eagle Eye 3 Saturn Probe Mission are now available on eBay.3.5" diameter, six and eight color embroidered mission patches, featuring the artwork suggested in the novel. This is a sew-on patch, so you can attach it however you see fit (stitch, glue, Velcro, etc.). |

Redesigned to add shadows to the two celestial bodies and replace the round bullets with stars instead. |
