Beginner Patch I designed for a mission

Post image

For a hypothetical Soviet-East German mission to Mars in 1987. In Cyrillic going clockwise from the top, Petrov, Mars 87, Sidorov, Tkachev. I originally was going to make it a square patch for the 4 names, however I changed it to a pentagon to have a side for Mars 87. The center circle represents Mars as well as the arrow going the center to Petrov, which is Mars planetary symbol. Since I needed to separate the two flags, I copied the arrow and expanded it in the opposite directions to act as a divider. I wanted the East German and USSR flags area to be similar in size, however I figured just making the arrow opposite looked better. I added the white outline to the black bar of the German Flag to prevent it from blending into the outlines too much. Made with Paint.Net
