Someone working for the US Space Force must be a Trekkie. Star Trek fans say a new logo is a direct ripoff of Star Trek's Starfleet Command logo.
President Donald Trump revealed the new logo for the Space Force on Friday via Twitter.
[...]As soon as it was posted, eagle-eyed Star Trek fans responded, pointing out the logo's similarities to the Starfleet Command logo. The arrow, the swirl around the arrow, the star background and text placement are almost identical.
Cultural references and inspirations are only allowed for the right people?

If you mean trademark, that's actually the law. Use it or lose it. Failure to sue could be construed as abdication of trademark rights.
If there isn't at least one reference or primary source, it's not +1 Informative. Maybe the underused +1 Interesting?

Being as they modeled the Trek logo on a NASA logo to begin with, I don't see a suit happening.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
