CNet:

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?

    I've already touched on that. Navy. Bubbleheads go down into the ocean, and stay there for months at a time. Surface force sailors do much the same, minus the tightly closed living environment. Fucking flyboys? A 72 hour mission is a long mission for them. Navy is psychologically ready for those months-long missions in space.
