Trump tweets the new Space Force logo and it looks a lot like symbol from ‘Star Trek’

President Donald Trump unveiled a new logo for the United States Space Force on Friday, and Twitter users found it looked a lot like another logo - from “Star Trek.”

“Star Trek,” a science-fiction television series, had a fictional space force known as Starfleet Command. Its space force logo featured an arrow with stars in the background. The U.S. Space Force logo Trump posted also has an arrow with stars in the background.

Several Twitter users pointed out the similarity, including Tom Coates, who said, “You’re not serious. Right?”

Other users questioned if the logo violated copyright law, which applies to artistic, dramatic and other creative works.

Trump said the logo came after “consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others.”

Twitter users poked fun at the Space Force last week when it unveiled uniforms with a camouflage print. Some questioned why the uniforms weren’t black to match the environment of outer space. Other users offered their own uniform design ideas, such as galaxy print pajamas.
