HIGHLY ILLOGICAL: Star Trek Actor George Takei Thinks He’s Entitled to Royalties for the Space Force Logo.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Did the U.S. government steal the Starfleet logo for its Space Force? It may be the other way around.

John Noonan argued it looks more like the logo for America’s Air Force Space Command (founded in 1982). “So the Air Force originally stole the Star Trek logo?” someone asked him on Twitter — prompting this wry reply.

“Well, that was certainly the joke we made 15 years ago.”

But it may actually be the other way around. One Star Trek fan site claims that the Starfleet logo never even appeared on the original Star Trek or Star Trek: The Next Generation series, and wasn’t created until after the Air Force’s logo, during the fourth season of Deep Space Nine (around 1996), by American graphic designer Mike Okuda.

I think someone from the future traveled back to get Trump elected to ensure the founding of Starfleet, and this is just a little easter egg they left.
