This identity design was created in adobe illustrator to represent the official unit insignia for 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, Feb. 12, 2025. The flying diamond insignia was first recognized during World War II as a shoulder patch. The patch was later mandated by the Commandant of the Marine Corps to represent all Marine Aircraft Wings.

Marine Corps Community Services representatives receive an award during a Voluntary Protection Program Gold status achievement ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., May 27, 2016. Six departments were among the first to achieve Gold status within MCAS Cherry Point VPP. Gold status is achieved when all safety protocols implemented by the VPP are completed and maintained. Some of those requirements involve monthly supervisor inspections, achieving 90-percent medical surveillance or higher, completing VPP passports and completing Occupational Safety and Health Administration training. The MCCS was recognized for accumulating 1 million mishap-free work hours. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. N.W. Huertas/ Released)
