Favorite Shuttle Patch?

[Eli13]

Since there's a lot of shuttle mania going on not just here, but on the media and what not, I decided we should have a thread asking for people's favorite shuttle patch.

My personal preference is STS-129's patch.
I have no specific reason for liking it other than the fact that I really like it's design.

Though, I have to say STS-134's patch would have to be a close second, it has a unique design.

Feel free to post your own favorites, and if you could, please put the picture of it!

Cheers,
-Eli

Your dad designed those? That's pretty cool.

I'm a fan of STS-1, STS-107, and STS-125. I own all three of them. I have a tradition of every time I go to Space Camp, I buy at least one patch.

STS-1, STS-133 are some favorites of mine.

He only designed a few. I believe that list is somewhere else on the forum.

A radio interview with the an employee of AB emblems, the official patch maker for NASA, has just been posted here:

My opinion on shuttle patches: The designs were strongest at the start of the program, and at the end. Perhaps the sense of history in these periods sharpened aesthetic considerations.

I particularly like: ALT, STS-1 through 6, and the last three - 133,134,135.

STS-114 (both the pre and post STS-107 design) was also very nice.
