Saw this at SSM yesterday: VERY "Starfleet".

I think the new space badge brings the design more in line with other branches of the air force.
See here for some examples. The three on the bottom of the page are the current space badges. If you'll notice, the star on top designates senior level, and the star plus wreath designates command. Without either is standard for everyone else. This seems to be common for all types of badges. (Edit: I've occasionally been having trouble connecting to the AF server, so if the above link doesn't work, try again.)
This page also shows a good comparison of different AF badges.

It's a cool design. It's no surprise those Air Weenies came up with it. The desk jockies of the US military. They seem to spend more time playing in Photoshop then doing any actual work!

There was another 'emblem'/'logo' i saw recently might have been part of NASA (it had that red arrow-head they always use) but it had the Earth and behind it, the Moon, Mars and the Sun.
That Airforce Space division logo looks like something from some 1930's Sci Fi program - Flash Gordon or something!
I suppose they DO need to have one now, with the Launch of the X-302's and the X-303/Prometheus.

quote:Van found it rather weird to meet a no-kidding, real-life general from a "Space Force." It was weirder yet that America's Space Force had bases all around the world, with forty thousand service personnel. America's Space Force was twenty years old. Why had he never seen any Space Force soldiers in any war movies? Or TV programs, either. Not even The X-Files.

Due to the "New Voyages" Episode I saw the need to recreate the insignia of the Farragut as it was displayed in the "Enterprise Officer's Manual" and the "Uniform Recogniton Manual" (and add the correct registry to the ship)
