Rebel Alliance starbird

The Rebel Alliance starbird 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. Nearly thirty years after the Battle of Endor, a Resistance pilot named Poe Dameron also wore a helmet featuring the same logo.

Behind the scenes
"I'm probably most proud of the Rebels' phoenix logo. I made it one day on a whim while working on really early versions of the Ghost ship, and it's remained unchanged all the way through marketing. It's meant to hint at the Rebel Alliance symbol that will appear in the later films."

A similar design of the Alliance starbird symbol also appears in Star Wars Rebels as a personal signature of a Mandalorian artist Sabine Wren, and was designed by Chris Glenn. The connection between two emblems aren't confirmed in canon yet, therefore this article treats both as separate logos.
