Has anyone seen any hint as to the official mission patch for this one?

Is this the one they are going with? .. .   i like the 'omega' theme as well as the Nasa logo behind .. . . the black seems a little 'austere' though . .  maybe mourning for the end of an era (thats nearly as old as i am . .ulp!!)

Yep! That's the one. And I agree... that black thing is wasted real-estate, but then it "simulates" the liftoff smoke (which should be white/gray).
