Apollo 7, 1968, Interim Concept Al Stevens Crew Patch Painting (10x10") This mixed media original artwork on posterboard, with hand-painted overlay, by artist Al Stevens is an intermediate design concept for the flight's crew patch. The artwork has been signed, after the fact, by lunar module pilot Walt Cunningham with his comments. The "Phoenix" was used in the design because the crew really wanted to name their Command Module "Phoenix" in honor of Apollo 1, and the concept that the flight symbolized NASA's rebirth. Stevens did the final design artwork for Apollo 1, 7, 9 and 10 and made design proposals for Apollo 11, 12 and 17. Unique, striking and quite important.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,002.
