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?

    Hated the first few I saw of Enterprise, but then stumbled onto some later ones and damn, this got good while I wasn't looking. So binged the whole thing (it's really all One Big Story) and while it's got plenty of weak and sloppy points, overall it's quite good, with some fine character arcs. And it holds up to rewatching. (Rather better than Lost In Trek, er, I mean Voyager, which I never really liked and only watched for lack of alternative entertainment.) Yeah, I suppose it busts canon here and there, but not to the point that I had no idea which universe I'd fell into, like some later incarnations we could bitch about.

    It started slow and ended too early, but was good overall.

      Yep, pretty good way to describe it. Really needed one more season to finish out the story, rather than the rushed clip-show ending (which the producers later acknowledged was well-meant but a mistake). But overall? heck of a good story.
