Official insignia The installation commander of Joint Base Andrews approved a logo re-design in the spring of 2014, which aimed to improve the branding and the overall appearance of the installation across all platforms. The project took several months and went through numerous design changes before approval, but was finalized in the late summer. The new JBA logo project was led and chiefly designed by Senior Airman Dan Burkhardt with important contributions by Mr. Dean Markos, who were both serving the Air Force in the 11th Wing Public Affairs office. The logo was approved and disseminated across all digital platforms and marketed locally in the fall of 2014. The new logo was re-designed with a flatter, more modern design aesthetic that could comfortably occupy a number of different mediums, from mobile apps, to installation trucks and signs. Contained in it are a number of design elements that refer directly to the joint mission of the installation, which is home to several Air Force Major Commands, Naval Commands, a Marine detachment and a number of other military and government related units. Design elements U.S. Capitol Building : The Capitol Building refers to the location of the installation ( just outside Washington D.C. ) and critical role it plays in supporting the operations and leadership of the U.S. Government. Dual Planes with Contrails : The two planes taking off with contrails flowing downward signify the aerial missions that Joint Base Andrews either hosts or supports directly every day, including the operations and maintenance of Air Force One. America 's Airfield : This phrase ( one of several unofficial tag - lines of the installation ) refers to the mission - critical role that Joint Base Andrews plays in national defense, government and diplomacy. Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington : Unlike the previous logo design, the new design incorporates the official name of the installation in the post-BRAC era.
