Visual identity and merchandising
Alpha mission patch.
The Alpha patch, designed for the second mission to space of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, features a rocket launch – the most dramatic moment in any space mission. Around the patch are 17 coloured slots representing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
At the top, the International Space Station is stylised in the colours of the French flag. Ten stars sparkle in the background, evoking the Centaurus constellation, and the number of French citizens who have flown to space.
You will find a selection of products I designed for the mission.

Cosmic kiss mission patch
The name of European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Matthias Maurer’s first mission to the International Space Station, Cosmic Kiss, is a declaration of love for space. It communicates the special connection the Station provides between Earth’s inhabitants and the cosmos. It also conveys the value of partnership in exploring farther to the Moon and Mars, alongside the need to respect, protect and preserve the nature of our home planet as we seek a sustainable future on Earth.

The Cosmic Kiss mission patch features black, red, gold and white. Each colour has been selected for its significance:
Black – represents the Universe and its mysteries that we seek to understand.
Red – stands for love and passion. It represents our human presence today and the martian soils that await us as we explore farther into the Solar System.
Gold – is the colour of the stars that share their warmth and light to enable life.
White – is the heartbeat that flashes in the atmosphere. It stands for technology and scientific progress, bringing light into the dark.
