Cheers Masao. The Charybdis is a tricky one because as I mentioned before, they used the Apollo 17 patch onscreen so I'm walking the line between violating cannon and accepting a result of the art department's small budget.
For those not familiar with the original patch, here is a comparison.
As you can see I've already made several alterations, most obvious (and necessary) being the crew and mission names. However I suppose I could increase the size of the planets somewhat, without impacting on the design too much.

Yankee-ness has nothing to do with it! I'd be annoying regardless of nationality.
That Valiant patch is better with the bigger elements. Hmm, that fire trail looks VERY familiar. (Of course, I swiped it from somewhere else first.) However, it does look a bit cramped at the turn, since it 's very close to the border but turning very hard to avoid going out . You might consider letting it go past the border at the bottom since the ship is already past the border at the top. Either that or move the turn further inside the border.

Well technically I have more right to steal it than you do, after all the Valiant is much more contemporary to the Phoenix than the Daudalus. (spot the relevance of that if you dare)
Oddly enough the cramped turn was intentional, it supposed the show that the Valiant took a northerly route out of the solar system, to the near edge of the galactic barrier. I know a better way of doing that would be to have the earth shown top down and have the Valiant seen front end-on but . . . I'm just too lazy.
