The Star Trek series, known to have inspired our culture and our technology, is now suspected of having rubbed off on the American army: the logo of the new Space Force unveiled on Friday recalls a coat of arms used in the universe of science fiction.
After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military! pic.twitter.com/TC8pT4yHFT

It is an arrow pointing upwards, overhanging a planet on a background of stars. A logo very similar to that of the Starfleet, a space fleet from the Star Trek universe, which has existed since 1966.

- Ned Pyle (@NerdPyle) January 24, 2020The resemblance obviously caused fun and mockery on social networks, which presumably prompted the Pentagon to publish a press release. "The delta symbol, the main element of the seal, began to be used by the American air forces as early as 1942 and was used on emblems of space agencies as of 1961", that is to say five years before the creation of Star Trek , a said a spokesperson for the United States Department of Defense.
