The only tough part is the ship. You can get clearer pictures of it at Bernd's site and elsewhere. My museum logo is fairly accurate for the arch of the flame.

Assuming that line to the left of the ship is the contrail coming round the planet, then I'd bet it comes up behind the circular logo,then turns sharply down in front of it. . .

Well spotted that man. I do have the book in question so I can refer to that if necessary, but like Masao I'm reluctant to crack the spine for a complete scan.

Reverend, I can not wait to see your final design on the Phoenix Patch. I bet that it will be a welcome site to see. All of your artwork is truly breathtaking and inspiring.

Does it seem odd to anyone else that the Phoenix would even have such a patch, considering it was not launched under the auspices of any organization but was simply cobbled together by Cochrane and his cohorts? The painted logo from the Encyclopedia (posted a page or two back) wouls be logical, like the way WWII pilots used to pain their bombers, but an official patch in the same style that later ships would have?

P.S. And btw, which is the correct spelling of Cochrane's first name? I've seen it in offcial text as both "Zephram" and "Zefram."

Re: the Phoenix project: We don't really have any idea when or under what circumstances the ship was designed. Considering the unlikelyhood of some people building a faster-than-light drive and a spacecraft to put it in from scratch in the wilds of Montana with no support whatsoever, I personally enjoy thinking that the project was already fairly far along by the time the war started. So, uh, it could have a patch, is what I'm saying.

Great work Reverend. I can not wait to see more.
Sol System, you are probably correct in that. Basically, the Phoenix was the road to peace for the world. They might have been working on it secretly in Montana at the time.
Zefram Cochrane is the correct name on the patch, on the peuter sculpture, and the poster "To Boldly Go".
