This edition of the A-B Emblem Gemini XI patch was produced on the 40th anniversary of the mission by A-B Emblem. While it accurately reproduces the original artwork, it varies slightly from the patches as flown by the crew.
This Gemini XI patch is designed like the actual patch which the astronauts wore into space. Souvenir versions lack the detail or the star between the astronaut's names. The patch is readily distinguished by the star on the astronaut's chest and jaggy appearance of the Agena unit.

This Gemini XI patch is the version as worn by the crew. Subtle differences from the common souvenir version include blue background (Navy), star between their names, and clear detail.
