We decided to make the emblem specific to Endeavour's achievements and her journey to her new home at the California Science Center. Instead of the red and black ribbon used on the Discovery-to-D.C. emblem, we used a golden ribbon for Endeavour, as she is traveling from one sunny coast to another in the United States. The patriotic elements of red, white and blue returned for this design in the form of the rising sun rays, blue Earth and red and white stars trailing the SCA/orbiter stack (25 stars for 25 spaceflights of Endeavour).
