Here are the proposed logos for the new Space Force, a 6th branch of our military that will be on par with the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force and US Coast Guard.
Aside from the fact that these are comically bad and look like they were done in Powerpoint, let’s compare these submissions with the logos of our existing five branches of the military:
I also take issue with the blatant rip off of the NASA logo. Let’s not forget that NASA is, by its charter, a civilian organization. Conflating its well-known logo with a branch of the military debases its stated peaceful mission. I know this whole idea is still in its infancy, but to roll out these pathetic logos now is nothing more than a shallow marketing ploy to get support for the Space Force. And really, Space Force just sounds dumb. It should really be called Star Command.

Maybe Mel Brooks can turn it into a slapstick comedy titled Space Farce.

With this and the recent football tweets, Mueller must be onto something right now.
The fonts on all of those proposals earn a big “no”.

IDK, I think the half-assed logos on top are right on brand for this “ space force” and everything else this administration does.

They’d be okay for Space Camp but there is no way it fits in with the other logos thematically (is that the right word.) The palette swapped NASA logo can fuck right off, though.

It’s somehow even worse than that, some of them appear to have been taken from JPL’s Visions of the Future series. Colour me surprised that the Administration couldn’t even manage an original logo.
...I mean, wasn’t Trump’s campaign slogan borrowed from Reagan as well?

I commented this same thing on Gizmodo, how in the HELL can a private organization (a campaign in this case) even task itself with coming up with the logo for a USG organization. AND then offer to sell merch for a profit?

I guess my favorite is the NASA like one as they will still have a close relationship with NASA I’m sure. As for “sullying NASA’s peaceful intentions? Please, they’ve been launching military satellites for years. Now, military doesn’t always mean non-peaceful but lets be honest about what this space force is probably gonna be doing, and what NASA has been doing for DOD and AirForce under contract. They will be launching military satellites for the purposes of communications, and intelligence gathering, maybe they’ll take over command of the ICBM’s? (Which obviously isn’t a current NASA role). An anti- satellite satellite would be a good idea though. Just stick a laser on it and some thrusters to be able to hunt down enemy satellites and fry the electronics. I remember reading that here were some tests of anti satellite missiles launched from an F-15 wonder if that ever worked.

I think the logo needs to incorporate:
1) A Bald Eagle
2) The Moon
3) A Mushroom Cloud
4) A Space Shuttle
So, it needs to be
a bald eagle riding a space shuttle that is dropping a nuke on the moon. Obviously confined within a circle.

No offense to the USCG, but the rest of them have eagles. This needs an eagle in a spacesuit. And to be round, maybe.

Yes, the F-15 satellite killer was a success. Destroying satellites (from inside the atmosphere) is nothing new. I don’t have a problem with developing capabilities in outer space. If we don’t, the Russians or Chinese will, and we don’t want to be behind the curve. Perhaps I’m speaking with the nostalgia of the historian.

Considering Trump’s announcement that he will be repainting Air Force One, I just hope he doesn’t hire the same “designers.”

Yes, and of course he denied it too. And it wasn’t even originally Reagan’s, it was Thatcher’s. Which was at least slightly clever because Great Britain is a thing.

And has an awesome crest. In WWII, the AF was part of the Army, and got so big that having a separate branch was warranted. I don’t really know what the AF is doing these days in space, but I doubt it rises to the level of requiring an entirely different branch. Are we going to add a sixth side on the Pentagon, too?

That is perhaps the only one that I mildly like, but it implies a more peaceful mission of exploration, not putting nukes in space.

So the Apollo 11 Mission Patch coupled with a space shuttle somehow firing a nuke from its payload bay?

Yes, that’s a good start. My initial idea was that t
he eagle would
be riding the
space shuttle while the nuke is being dropped - I would entertain the eagle watching from a distance
though.
