Space Force unveils logo, 'Semper Supra' motto - SpaceNews:
The U.S. Space Force revealed its new logo and motto as the service seeks to build branding and cultural identity.
The black-and-silver service logo unveiled July 22 has the delta wing as its central element that is also found in the Space Force seal and flag. There is a "Space Force" horizontally shaped logo and a USSF vertical logo.
The Space Force motto "Semper Supra" means "always above." It represents the service's role in establishing, maintaining and preserving U.S. freedom of operations in the ultimate high ground, a Space Force spokesman said.
The logo was designed by the Department of the Air Force's advertising agency GSD&M.

Whew... you've got acres and acres of tasty memes to learn about. Like... you probably don't get the "God Emperor" memes at all... Luckily there's probably 500000 pages of ebook lore available for reading. Its very light stuff, but often entertaining.
Imagine if you and a million of your friends played Monopoly the board game and liked it so much, that the market currently supports 10K pages of fan fic lore each for the boot token, the thimble token, the little car token, each spot on the game board for example Ventnor Avenue, etc.
The lore authors are skilled enough that its not bad for light entertainment. Better than watching TV although thats a pretty low bar LOL.

I always thought the God Emperor referenced the Dune series of stories. Ehhh, Maybe I go look.

Yes there is a God Emperor in Dune.
Much like faster than light travel, the meme of god-leader is popular idea in sci fi.
Apparently the ancient Egyptians started the meme quite awhile ago and it spread thru the world, its not strictly sci fi LOL.
How the ancient Egyptians came up with that weird idea is a good one to ponder when you're bored. Its a strange idea if you've never heard of it... Of course they also came up with weird stuff like humans with heads of jackals and making really freak'n huge piles of stacked bricks, so who knows where those weirdos got their ideas.

I call it the "big baboon theory". Many troops of primates are usually lead by a dominant male, with nominally absolute authority. (The nominal is because they are often overthrown if those lead get too unhappy. In some groups they often survive the loss of authority. [I don't remember whether that's true of baboons.])
