Eagle

From Command and Conquer Wiki

Eagles are birds of prey found worldwide. Generally, Eagles are among the largest raptors in existence, barring certain types of condors. They have been used by many nations and organizations as a symbol of power or independence, including the United States, the Roman Empire, and the coats of arms of multiple Europeon nations.

During the Great World War II, the Allied Forces used a stylized Eagle within a triangle as their symbol. Later, when GDI was forced to go public, they also adopted the Eagle as a symbol; the GDI logo being the silhouette of a diving Eagle inside a circle. This motif was imprinted on most GDI military units, and was also on GDI Achievement Medal.
