L'Armée de l'Air ha cambiato nome ... e sta guardando allo spazio ...
The French Air Force is no more.
On Sept. 11, it became the French Air and Space Force, completing a process initiated by President Emmanuel Macron in July 2019 when he announced the creation of a space command.
A new logo, revealed Friday, accompanies the new name.
The logo features a thin, curved line that runs above the word “armée” and then behind the word “air.”
It represents the surface of the world, above which soars the stylized sparrow-hawk, which has been the logo for the Air Force for a decade.
The bird’s position has been very slightly modified to make it look more like a hunter.
And the phrase “& espace” has been added.
The Air and Space Force says the reason for the discreet changes in the logo is to underline the continuity of the mission rather than a revolution in the mission.
