The Artemis II mission patch is double-sided

insanely cool - the artemis II mission patch is reversible, and when the crew rounded the moon they flipped the patch to indicate they're coming back home

Not sure if they're available anywhere:

Additional information on the production process itself, which doesn't really conclude if there will be another run as I said: https://t.co/ttSUkCi4Yj

Good mission patch

The launch of a ULA Vulcan rocket carrying the U.S. Space Force (USSF)-87 mission for the United States Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) is targeting Monday, Feb. 2, from Space Launch Complex (SLC)-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, pending range… pic.twitter.com/QyBUly84QK

Collection of unit patches from the Air, Space and Cyber Conference

The silliest is the one that says BESPIN, with modified Star Wars symbols: "BESPIN actually stands for Business and Enterprise Systems Product INovation, an Air Force software factory that is meant to help the service churn out easy-to-use mobile apps for education, mission scheduling, childcare, and everything in between." and the coolest might be the 533rd Training Squadron's emblem.

The listing.

Patch emblem inspired by NASA's experiments with combustion in microgravity

These experiments were conducted aboard the ISS beginning in 2017. In the end, six independent studies led to over 1,500 space flames being ignited, three times more than originally planned. pic.twitter.com/EfkboAmVuU

Funny, disgusting deployment patch for a medical unit

I swung by medical to see what their latest schemes were. I discovered that their deployment patch features the double dragon. Is this medical humor? pic.twitter.com/Ks9P4f2vPx

Special Analysis Branch patch

Since SIGINT is basically an arcane ritual where precious information is distilled from the sky by manipulating invisible forces, unit patches which build on the mystique are the best. pic.twitter.com/7sQ0lYDScI

For sale for $275 here (also some background).

The new Madden Thanksgiving tribute patch is like the classic old woman/young woman illusion

All teams playing on Thanksgiving Day this year will wear a John Madden jersey patch. Here is ours!#GBvsDET | #OnePride pic.twitter.com/xRrR2iu8n0

Maybe it's because of how the image is oriented, but I focused on the face on a turkey leg looking toward the bottom left corner, and had trouble seeing it was Madden's face with a headset looking toward the bottom right corner.

Some excellent military unit patches

And of course we find the usual grim reapers and other D&D imagery: pic.twitter.com/ldmti6N7iD

And wow, his book I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World has apparently become a collector's item. Everybody bought it when I promoted it in 2008, right?

Below, a Chinese take, two ideas for the nose art, and the near-disaster when a drone went amok over Southern California:

RPG business cards, origami RPG, keepsake patches, and an art roundup

Be forewarned: I'm going to start inserting one of these babies into every sale on the Cairn Store!

They are the Wallet Dungeon business cards by @AwkwardTurtle42, for those not in the know.https://t.co/VuLivS1cQI pic.twitter.com/uyKyqzyLhB

Send your players on an all-expenses paid trip to skybnb: the floating wizard's tower turned hotel! Deal with sky pirates, meet interesting clientele, spin for encounters!

I made a business card to bring to #PAXUnplugged, and obviously it had to be gameable, this is the result! pic.twitter.com/G9pasVN4Ig

Patches and illustrations based on Alfred Valley's psychedelic-xerox adventure zine "Thousand Empty Light"

Alfred Valley's single player tabletop RPG "Thousand Empty Light": 

Written throughout as an in-game corporate document, the zine takes the core game’s rules and builds a procedure for playing single handedly. It is a 36 page survival horror adventure, short story and universal solo toolkit all wrapped up into one.

The adventure casts the player in the role of a lamplighter hired by the HAZMOS service corporation. Their job? Enter an abandoned underwater tunnel on an uninhabited planet alone and restore power and light to each section. As they proceed, the player will discover that things aren’t quite what they seem.

This is an experiment in tabletop adventure design, requiring a healthy amount of interpretation from the player (a digital example play document is also provided). 

You can buy the digital file or download a simplified PDF of the "psychedelic-xerox adventure zine," but the great patches are sold out:

Vintage crime imprint logos; Ukranian military patches; Walmart makes use of Olly Moss's art; Windsor-Smith "has contacted Marvel to try to get them to adjust the color"
