Houston Rockets Badges

 [Personal Work] - A pair of original “ NASA mission patches” representing Houston Rockets’ stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

The patches were inspired by the 50th anniversary of the 1969 NASA moon landing mission. Every Apollo NASA mission was symbolized by its own “mission patch” that used space imagery to describe and commemorate the mission. That same tradition and approach was applied to the Harden and Westbrook patches.
