This is the final design of the mission insignia for DSI's Firefly and Dragonfly missions. The insignia attempts to imitate the elements of the space race mission insignia whilst bringing the design up to a more modern standard. The aim for the future is to try and get these either turned into commemorative patches, which may prove too expensive, or illustrate their use on the side of spacecraft by turning them into stockers and adhering them to some material. The final choice of colour I went for this the 90K black, which is used in the logo and the green and yellow colours which compliment each other, and the overall designs. The use of yellow for the firefly insignia illustrates the bug lighting up space in the design, reflecting on the missions goal of finding an asteroid. The dragonfly patch inverts the coloured shape and and hooks on the tail of the bug, reflecting in its mission to capture a small asteroid and bring it back to earth. Something I really do like about these designs is the use of very simple imagery to denote the Earth's surface below and the moon behind the spacecraft; placing it in a a location rather than having it just floating through empty space.
