One of the highlights of STLV for me this year. Got a NX-01 assignment patch tattoo at Count’s Tattoo (at the Rio) in honor of my late grandfather who passed in 2025.

EDIT: Included the year.

    I know it’s not what you’re asking but I think Okuda did the original design

      Really? He did that? OMG. If I had seen him (not sure he was here with Denise this year) and known that, I would have shown him.

        A few years later, when we did Star Trek: Enterprise, the producers wanted a more NASA-like vibe, so I did quite a few emblems for Bob Blackman, our costume designer. Wendy Drapanas, Geoff Mandel, and Alan Kobayashi also contributed some patches.

        This listicle says it was Wendy Drapanas but there’s no further explanation.
