Federal Employee Requests

Federal employees and their families can use the U.S. Air Force Symbol and U.S. Space Force logo on personal items such as shirts, banners and invitations. It is a great way to show pride for your service or show support for a loved one. However, many businesses require permission from the Air Force and Space Force Intellectual Property (IP) Management office prior to creating a product.

The Air Force and Space Force IP Management office will work with federal employees who plan to use a DAF IP for projects approved by our office. If you have questions regarding display guidelines or would like to submit a one-time request, we ask that you fill out the form HERE.

Public Requests

In certain circumstances, the Air Force and Space Force IP Management office works with non-federal entities (NFEs) such as cities, community organizations, schools and individuals who are searching for new ways to honor the Armed Forces. When it comes to tribute walls, monuments, pavers, military appreciation events, or commemorative apparel, look no further. Our subject matter experts will work with your organization to ensure your proposed use complies with applicable laws, regulations, and Department of the Air Force policy.
