The Moonbase Alpha crest was seen throughout the series, on astronaut suits and Eagles. In Year 2, jackets were introduced with several new designs of badges. Mare Fitzgerald wrote an explanation of the badges in 1979.

Alpha Moonbase Crest		Trapezium. Includes picture of Earth and Moon, linked by orbital paths (the model version was simpler, without the orbits). Used on Eagles (nose cone and pods), tanks (The Infernal Machine); spacesuits, Arctic wear (Death's Other Dominion), orange jackets (Koenig & Cellini in Dragon's Domain, guards in The Testament Of Arkadia), blue jacket (Bergman in Dragon's Domain, Alan in Year 2); badminton tops (The Last Sunset)
Spectrum		Rectangular. Star-field top left, a vertical spectrum below & right (like American flag). On moonbuggy and spacesuits (left shoulder only); Astro 7 jacket (Matter Of Life And Death). Also on exterior bulkhead of Eagle (sets only, not SFX models- see Matter Of Life And Death).
V.J.C.		Rectangular, white letters on red. Worn on pyjamas & Koenig's Year 2 jackets.
ID badge		Rectangular. First seen on jackets in Dragon's Domain (worn by Bergman, Koenig & Cellini), then worn on the chest of all Year 2 uniforms. Include a b/w photo of the person, with two black stripes below: the upper stripe stated the section (eg "Command Centre", with British spelling) or job title ("Commander" "Pilot") and the lower the person's name (eg "T. Verdeschi"). The Year 1 versions do not have a thin stripe on the right side of the photograph.
