Mission Patches

Inspired by the embroidered badges made for space missions, our design team creates a new Joint Mission Patch every year.

Each one has a completely different design, capturing something about Joint and the year we’ve had together, but every patch carries the same Latin motto: Nemo omnia responsa habet, or “No one has all the answers.” It’s a longstanding Joint belief, reflecting the idea that the best answers come from bringing different people, disciplines and perspectives together.

They’ve become a small but important part of our culture: something people look forward to, keep and wear, and a distinctly Joint way of marking another year together. They sit alongside more practical recognition too, with holiday allowance increasing with each year's tenure and a four-week paid sabbatical after ten years.

All 14 Joint Mission Patches, from years one to fourteen. Everyone at Joint on our anniversary receives that year’s patch, and over time they build into a personal record of your history with the agency. The longer you’re here, the more patches you collect.

For Joint XIV, our 14th birthday mission patch took its cue from silicon, atomic number 14, and the material at the heart of the chips powering the AI revolution. It felt like the right symbol for a year in which AI was rapidly reshaping our industry, and it even made it onto the birthday cake.
