Rebel Alliance starbird

The Rebel Alliance starbird,^[1] also known as the Alliance crest, or as the Resistance crest,^[2] was a symbol of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The flight helmets of the Rebel X-wing pilots were adorned with the starbird logo.^[3] The former rebel shock trooper Cara Dune had the Alliance starbird tattooed on her cheek.^[4] Nearly thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the Resistance adopted the same emblem. Many pilots, including Poe Dameron, wore helmets featuring the logo.^[5] The New Republic insignia also had the starbird.^[6]

It was created by combining the personal signature of Mandalorian artist Sabine Wren and the three-pronged symbol used by Saw Gerrera.^[7]
