My favorite part is that they're still going to wear standard green foliage camo - for space.
Nope. It's somewhat adapted from the existing insignia for both the USAF Space Command and US Space Command, which have been around for a couple of decades. So, a nice nod there to the existing military heritage of the new organization. The wedge/arrow device is very common in a number of USAF unit insignia, and I believe may even pre-date the advent of Star Trek. The "swoosh" would seem to refer to the similar feature seen in the logo for NASA. So I do not believe there is any deliberate plagiarism involved here.Is Captain Sulu right? This does seem very close.
Trump show off the US. Space Force seal. Which kind of remind you of the Star fleet logo.

Someone behind the scenes had some fun with it
Or the Blake's 7, Google Play, or Lexus logo tilted upwards. Throw in an anorexic Nike swirl and voila: cheap rings. Or the Acura or Infinity logo since we'll have commuter buses going to the moon... Be nearsighted and squint and the Elfin car logo can look similar too...
Heck, the brand 'Australian Made' is a ringer for the Triskelion logo...

As Mysterion pointed out, it's actually just an update to an existing seal that's been around since 1982:

And the original Trek delta is probably adapted from NASA's arrowhead element as a nod to the space program.
All the people out there on the net screaming "Trump stole the Trek logo!" are... not correct.

Yup. Politics gone wild. Nothing better to discuss than logos of semi-affiliated departments.
Indeed. And here's a good overview article I just came across:

Fun Fact: the Starfleet seal that everyone is showing as an example (or various versions thereof) did not appear until 1996 in the DSN episode Homefront.

The swoosh and star-field are obviously from NASA. The Space Force announcement says the Delta goes back to the US Army Air Force in 1942 and first used by space related Air Force organizations in 1961. I thought the whole thing was funny, but there are some crazy political tweets about this, esp from anti-Trumpers.

Plus, text around a circle is something most of the US Military branches have. The SFC logo was probably inspired by US military logos.
