NASA's insignia for SpaceX's Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station.The depiction of the dragon, its tail as a trajectory around Earth and the style of the sun appear to be design nods to the Apollo 13 patch.  |

Also, like Apollo 13, no crew names. |

True, though that may be because the crew has yet to be announced. A version with names could come later. |

As I understand it, SpaceX Crew-13 remains SpaceX Crew-13, regardless if Starliner-1 flies with or without a crew. The numbering is vehicle specific, not program wide. I guess we will see. |

I understand that the original NASA pilot and Canadian Space Agency mission specialist of Starliner-1 were both moved onto Crew-13 as commander and pilot.They were recently photographed in Star City with another NASA astronaut, plus Roscosmos crewmate, in preparation for launch on Falcon 9 this autumn. |
