Logos for the new Space Force were released by the Trump campaign to supporters to vote for their favorite.

President Donald Trump’s campaign wants to start selling a new Space Force themed line of merchandise, and they are soliciting votes on which design to use. In June, Trump ordered the Department of Defense and the Pentagon to being the process of creating a sixth military branch known as Space Force. In an email to supporters sent out this afternoon, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee asked their supporters to vote for their favorite Space Force logo design. The campaign gave six different options to choose from. In a speech today at the Pentagon, Vice President Mike Pence laid out the Pentagon’s report on building the Space Force. The Congressionally-mandated report laid out the changes the Pentagon can make without Congressional approval to implement the president’s order to create the Space Force as a sixth branch of the military. Congress would have to approve any plan to make the Space Force a new branch. Instead, the Defense Department wants to establish two new entities that wouldn’t be military branches, the U.S. Space Command and Space Development Agency.

I have to admit, I've never before seen such crass political commercialism. No doubt all such Trump/Space Force merchandise will be Made in China.
