'Is That From Toy Story?' Twitter Has Ideas for Trump and His 'Space Force' Logo

US President Donald Trump has been in the talks of starting a 'Space Force' for a long time, but yesterday, after Mike Pence outlined the plan for Space Force, the Trump campaign sent out an email asking people to pick a logo for it.

'Space Force' has been advertised as the sixth branch of the US armed forces, with Pence going as far as saying, that Space force "is needed to ensure America's dominance in space amid heightened completion and threats from China and Russia."

Now, with the plan in place, the Trump government, instead of answering questions on why there's a need for 'Space Force' and how much of taxpayers' money will be used to fund the project, have asked American citizens to pick a logo.





And while the campaign called on supporters to vote on their favorite logo which would become the official logo - Twitter found the idea absurd, and highly comical.

These are all very cute, and that's stupid. Let's review:
1. Red Nasa?
2. That's gotta be from Toy Story.
3. Rocket lasers wrap around the world and hit the ship?
4. Wait, no, maybe this one is from Toy Story.
5. The circus tent looks weird.
6. Is that the No Man's Sky logo?

Cute, but like... The Space Force would have literally nothing to do with Mars? Unless... I guess we could go to war with Martians, then this this logo might be relevant. pic.twitter.com/LnoiVjnqfp — Miriam Kramer (@mirikramer) August 9, 2018

All of Trump's 'Space Force' logos look like icons for a Disney ride. — Jonathan Cohn (@JonathanCohn) August 9, 2018

How can this not be the Space Force badge? pic.twitter.com/5LiXmNKLSR — David Frum (@davidfrum) August 9, 2018

The lack of originality was also pointed out.

If the Trump campaign's design for a Space Force logo looks familiar, that's because it is. pic.twitter.com/ZI6WnyqJm3

Some of them went so far as to mirror the absurdness of the logos and the entire point behind it - and came up with their own ideas for the logo.

I like the Space Force idea but this slogan is a little troubling pic.twitter.com/bmjCCDdRCX

And while Twitter made fun of the absurd logo ideas - some pointed out the entire idea of the Space Force in itself, was absurd and the need for a space force, much less a logo, was unnecessary.

I'm old enough to remember when the military's already existing space force used this logo, which it still does because it already exists pic.twitter.com/4ih7i3jRqY

Honestly though I like some of these in a "cool decal for a model spaceship/logo for a space-centric video game" sort of way? It's too bad that they're actually intended for a BRANCH OF THE U.S. ARMED FORCES https://t.co/gR5BKQ5itg — Andrew Cunningham (@AndrewWrites) August 9, 2018

Will somebody in the Pentagon please tell @realDonaldTrump that DoD already has a Space Force, it's called @AFSpace.

Thanks, that'd be super.

However, the entire logo idea, and perhaps Trump's campaign ideas can be summed up in this one tweet:
