Trump campaign asks supporters to vote on logo for 'Space Force' gear

President Trump’s campaign on Thursday latched onto the administration's formal announcement of a proposed “Space Force,” asking supporters to vote on a logo that will be displayed on merchandise.

An email from the campaign asks supporters to vote on one of six logos that will be emblazoned on future Trump campaign items. Users can pick a logo, then are prompted to make a donation to the Trump campaign.

Each of the six proposed logos includes the phrase "Space Force," except for one that states "Mars Awaits" even though the administration's proposal focuses on defense and not space exploration. One option also appears to be a repurposed version of the NASA logo.

The Department of Defense released a report on Thursday detailing the specifics on how it will carry out Trump's request to establish a Space Force by 2020.

2. Question: Was Trump watching STAR TREK, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA or SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND?

Daffy Duck, indeed.

4. Maybe they can ask the marvel entertainment asshole what the logo should look like

or the doctor, or the attorney, ................I know

[OnlinePoker]

5. They missed an opportunity

They should have called it the Star Corps to complement the Marine Corps.

[iluvtennis]

6. Yet, Trump defunded NASA part of whose charter was space exploration. What an ijit.

24. Because his will be a boondoggle gift to for-profit companies.

Just as the wall will be, and any other large projects.. Like the imprisoning of immigrants is.

it is all to make his donors rich with tax payer dollars.
You can imagine the quality control issues.

[iluvtennis]

39. ++++ Agree

[William Seger]

7. Next, he's gonna rename his plane "Space Force One"

[forgotmylogin]

19. If this happens...they need to ditch the word "force".

It's belligerent and sounds like the name of a Saturday morning cartoon for children.

The rest of our military is not "Land Force" "Sea Force" "Sky Force"...

Why can't it just be "NASA"?

[Scurrilous]

8. LOL

Back during the 80's I used to wander around (with permission) a defense contractor's facility in California (Hughes, I believe) marveling at all the fanciful logos and decals plastered everywhere for Reagan's proposed Star Wars programs. Lasers were a big theme. None of that @#$% ever came to fruition. Just saying...

[Roy Rolling]

9. This is a joke, right?

Space is a vacuum. It literally means empty.

So Trump wants a branch of the military to fight for the millions of square miles of empty space?

Nothing like bankrupting the country by funding an army to guard an empty warehouse. But it's taxpayer money.

Trump is not a taxpayer.

[Liberalagogo]

10. What. A. Fucking. Idiot.

n/t

[colorado_ufo]

11. Man! Them's some ugly-ass logos!

Did they already run out of money to pay a designer?

[SkyDaddy7]

38. NO SHIT, huh!?!?!

I was thinking the same thing!

...They look like the graphics for an Atari 2600 game from the late 70s early 80s!

[colorado_ufo]

40. Perfect description!

[Achilleaze]

12. repubes are going to call their first Trump Spaceshit: Kremmy McKremlinFace

13. I can't stop thinking of the Muppet's tv show

PIGS IN SPACE!

14. Dude. There already is one:

15. "then are prompted to make a donation to the Trump campaign"

16. A bone spur with wings?

[LakeSuperiorView]

18. He just wants to create himself a uniform...

If one could only corner the market on gold braid. a fortune could be made of of the moron's uniforms...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. Don't we already have one?

Steal it from Star Trek. Don't pay for it. It's the Trump way.

[area51]

31. Yeah, one "... appears to be a repurposed version of the NASA logo"

It doesn't appear to be, it quite clearly is stolen from the NASA logo. Who did that one, Melania? She's pretty used to stealing other people's work.

[djacq]

21. If Congress won't fund it

It ain’t happening.

[Midnight Writer]

35. I think Mexico is going to pay for it.

[nuxvomica]

22. Isn't this illegal?

His campaign is asking his supporters to decide on naming a government property. That's got to violate a few statutes.

[pazzyanne]

23. Whats tRump trying to do?

Raise money to get "Space Force" off the ground?

[marble falls]

25. The motto needs to be , "To the deeper recesses and even deeperer!" And this should be the logo ...

I think Disney artists could jazz it up a bit.

[Ponietz]

26. Your Space Force Name is...

28. Is it trademarked by Trump?

No way this idea goes without licensing paid directly to Trump...

[Ohiogal]

29. It sounds like a Mel Brooks movie.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

30. That is such a good idea,

I'm going to watch "Space Balls" right now.

"We're going to plaid !"

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

32. I doubt NASA will be happy to see their swash used in one of the logos (lower right).

NASA has always been about peaceful civilian use of space.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

33. I'd go with this:

[jmowreader]

34. Who drew these things, grade schoolers?

Come on: "Space Force" makes it sound like Trump is gearing up to fight Marvin the Martian, Luke Skywalker, the Romulans and the Bug Nation of Klendathu - all of which have about the same authenticity as Donald John "Three Dollar Bill" Trump.

[cstanleytech]

36. The perfect logo is

[sakabatou]

37. Someone come up with a version that says "Space Farce"

[Sancho]

41. already done?
