•The Soyuz MS-02 crew patch was designed as a round shape, symbolizing the perfection of everything created in the universe. In the center of the emblem there is an image of the sacred Mount Tabor, located in the Holy Land. On top of the mountain is a source of light, symbolizing the sanctification that lights all Earthly things. •From this source emerge three beams, representing the desire of the members of the crew and the intention to successfully complete all upcoming tasks. •Mount Tabor is framed by the letter Ф ("F"), depicted in the form of an orbit, at the top of which is the International Space Station and at the base the Soyuz spacecraft. Inside the letter "F" are stars symbolizing the surrounding space and three stars symbolizing the crew, whose names are inscribed in a stylized font along the outline of the emblem with the state flags of Russia and the United States, the name of the ship Soyuz MS-02 and the logo of Roscosmos. •Also inside the letter "F" is "Favor" — the crew call sign, the main symbol of the logo.

Cool. They are using a font modeled on the letters used in Old Church Slavonic rather than a modern Cryllic font (for the crew members’ names).
