When I saw the overview and when I noticed it in the reviews I knew that it was going to be a problem for me and when I bought Gen. Hawk this particular decision is a blemish on what is otherwise an exceptional figure. I don't like the "YO JOE!" Classified star patch on the general's bomber. The patch seems like something that would be on a 12" Hawk figure (with limited p.o.a.,) that's available at Walgreens or something that would have been on Hawk's bomber jacket had the v2 Hawk been used on the DiC cartoon.
Given that I've already stated my preference on what should be the the JOE's unit patch and the Classified Series logo y'all already know what I'm going to say. The JOE eagle would have been a much better choice for not only the JOEs unit patch, but also the line's logo. The star is cool, but it's analogous to meat without seasoning or Baskin-Robbins ice cream, meaning it's bland as fuck. The JOE eagle draws attention to it's design. It's striking, dynamic, beautiful in its simplicity, it screams G.I. JOE and most importantly IT LOOKS LIKE A UNIT PATCH! Just think of everywhere the Classified star is used and imagine if that was the JOE eagle, (e.g. the gas tank on the Ram, the engine cover on the Dragonfly, on the Classified packaging, that back cardboard piece the JOEs are on,) and how much better it would look. As with the JOE Pro, the JOE eagle can be the unifying symbol for the JOE team and since the USMC is "bein' funny style," about the use of its trademarks I not only don't have an issue with, (but I actively encourage,) Hasbro to use the JOE eagle as G.H.'s chest tattoo. In the case of Gen. Hawk (if for example,) they went with the gold and back JOE eagle would looked really cool on his jacket sleeve in addition to providing a dope color pop. Unfortunately, the JOE eagle is in the same realm movie Scarlett is in because both of these really dope concepts will be relegated to obscurity and only used by customizers due to their unfortunate affiliation with shitty movies. Which is ashame because the JOE eagle is one of the few good things to come out of the JOE movies.

I liked the Joe Eagle logo as well. Hence, I bought some of the unreleased cancelled POC figures with it through Ebay.

Both logos look kind of dumb to me. An assaulting forward flag patch would look better than either:

Like Mordred, I guess I'm indifferent and even okay with it. But I think the best choice may have been what Spotted Eagle just posted, the US flag. The eagle Joe logo would have looked better than what they went with though, I agree.

I've come to prefer the Star, hence my avatar.
After all, what's more powerful than a star? |

I comfort myself with this idea: the patch on Hawk's shoulder looks more like a moral patch a group has made up custom than it does an official unit patch. The fact it's on a bomber jacket rather than a uniform shirt reinforces this in my head. For instance, my unit at work had Kool-Aid man moral patches made. You might stick them on a vest, but it's not on the uniform. Maybe someone made the "Yo Joe" one as a joke and gave it to Hawk?

The star emblem used for G.I. Joe Classified is okay, I guess, but not quite as dramatic or official looking like the Paramount Pictures G.I. Joe eagle emblem.
Classified is simply using a less colorful version of the NBC public service announcement logo previously seen for many years beginning in 1989 for the series, The More You Know.
