A highly compelling and inspiring design.<br \/>It was also on the stage of the GLEX Summit 2024 that the student received his well-deserved award, presented by Richard Garriott (President of The Explorers Club) and Paulo Barcelos (President of &#8216;Os Montanheiros&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-946205517\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_361112597\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montanheiros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Patch_-Goncalo-Ricarte-winner.png\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montanheiros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Patch_-Goncalo-Ricarte-winner.png 240w, https:\/\/www.montanheiros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Patch_-Goncalo-Ricarte-winner-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_361112597 {\n  width: 48%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p>According to Gon\u00e7alo Ricarte, here are some interesting remarks about the design of this patch:<\/p>\n<p>i) I used several logos from other important space missions as inspiration for my design, such as the Apollo 11 mission logo<\/p>\n<p>ii) The colors of the outer circles correspond to the colors of the Azores flag: blue, white, and gold<\/p>\n<p>iii) The blue circle includes the mission name and the first tribute to the Natal Cave, as well as the nine stars of the Azorean flag<\/p>\n<p>iv) Black and white also represent our universe, with white symbolizing the stars and black the infinite void<\/p>\n<p>v) The symbol is clearly divided into two parts: on the left, the Human, and on the right, the Ship<br \/><br \/>vi) The drawing of the Human on the left was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s Vitruvian Man<\/p>\n<p>vii) Between the arm and the leg of the Vitruvian Man is the second tribute of the logo to the Natal Cave<\/p>\n<p>viii) The cave is represented through the inclusion of basaltic stalagmites and stalactites, elements that most readily symbolize a cave to the general public<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-2055444583 {\n  width: 82%;\n}\n#text-box-2055444583 .text-box-content {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-box-2055444583 {\n    width: 100%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-1165755947 {\n  padding-top: 1200px;\n}\n#banner-1165755947 .bg.bg-loaded {\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/www.montanheiros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023_06_17_Azores_Cave_07.jpg);\n}\n#banner-1165755947 .overlay {\n  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.709);\n}\n#banner-1165755947 .bg {\n  background-position: 18% 0%;\n}\n#banner-1165755947 .ux-shape-divider--top svg {\n  height: 150px;\n  --divider-top-width: 100%;\n}\n#banner-1165755947 .ux-shape-divider--bottom svg {\n  height: 150px;\n  --divider-width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azores CAM\u00f5es home &nbsp; Patch Design Competition &nbsp; Gon\u00e7alo Ricarte Award-Winning Patch Designer Gon\u00e7alo Ricarte, a high-school student at the School of Tom\u00e1s de Borba (Angra do Hero\u00edsmo, Azores), was the winner of the patch design contest\u2014congratulations on an outstanding and creative vision.
