Wired has a list of some of the strangest mission patches that NASA has produced. The patch above was for the creation of the Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules of the International Space Station.

The modules were built by the Italian Space Agency, so they are named after the Italian Renaissance artists, rather than the turtles.
