Most of the law in this area deals with commercial use. However, if the use is not commercial the Code of Federal Regulations states:
32 C.F.R. § 507.11 Reproduction of designs.
(a) The photographing, printing, or, in any manner making or executing any engraving, photograph, print, or impression in the likeness of any . . . insignia, or other device, or the colorable imitation thereof, of a design prescribed by the . . . Secretary of the Air Force for use by members of the . . . Air Force is authorized provided that such reproduction does not bring discredit upon the military service and is not used to defraud or to misrepresent the identification or status of an individual, organization, society, or other group of persons.
(b) The use for advertising purposes of any engraving, photograph, print, or impression of the likeness of any . . . Department of the Air Force . . . insignia, or other device (except the Honorable Service lapel button) is prohibited without prior approval, in writing, by . . . the Secretary of the Air Force except when used to illustrate a particular article that is offered for sale . . .
