While I do not have the official photograph (yet) I remember the following design being used on the Squadron Sign at Andersen AFB, with the lightning bolts being dark red the current official insignia is yellow lightning bolts on a blue disc the Squadron has been redesignated as the 633rd Comm Squadron at Langley AFB.
