These Are All The Same Fucking Picture.

You can't tell these apart from more than a few feet away, or on someone's shoulder in a webcast, or anything.

It's just so... bland. It's "corporate identity" shit. Here with US missions, we get a whole wealth of variety in mission patches, 'cause the team themselves design them, they're not dictated by a graphical standard to adhere with a brand, like it really appears is the case here.

There's so much color and even like, so many shapes! not just circles!

and at least three of these missions have separate, equally canonical patch designs, but look at the diversity here! you can tell these apart!

i was having a hard time tracking down a tandem mission that had a canonical nasa patch, or didn't have several. I settled on Jelescope Welescope Spelescope Telescope.

This is one of several apparently canonical patches. The ESA's is The Same As Fuckin Always, and this one from NASA... this might be Goddard's patch? is very much a different. There's also the Tim Gagnon patch which is shaped like all the mirrors and paints a scene of the mission, that one's lovely, i boughtt one the day it went on sale, and some others.

ESA... please make your patches mean something and have anything more than generic brand synergy, i beg you.
