Well, my scientist characters have patches on their uniforms and on their pressure suits (the pressure suits are why they're called "the double-skinned" by the humans who've been living in an alien-designed habitat).
The aliens, on the other hand, paint their faces and hands with paint that only reflects ultraviolet light - their ways of identifying themselves are literally incomprehensible to humans, just like their motivations.
