Any clues as to how accurate/canon these cargo labels and door emblems are?
The red cargo label was also reproduced in the Encyclopedia and DS9TM. The shapes and colors are slightly different on those, so that might suggest they were both drawn from a single ('canon') source.
But I've never seen the other cargo labels or the door labels before...

Many of those posted just above I've seen in more than one source, so I'd say those are all canon designs. I hadn't seen the Ilia and Jr Engineer's door logos before and I hadn't seen the fiber-op and life-support ones before. The others are all familiar.

Masao: I'm going to pretend the triangular symbol just reperesents generic cargo, standard equipment, supplies and so forth. Mainly because I've already adopted it for my SF Transport/Material supply command along with the Deneva flag. (see my Neutronic fuel carrier & Antares Class) I had intended to also incorperate it into a take on the Earth Cargo Service logo too.
As for there Cannon status, I'm sure there were plenty of obscure set decorations that never made it on camera, although I have a hard time figuring out where the door emblems could have hidden. Perhaps they were developed for the set but ultimately removed for one reason or another. Someone could always query Sternbach, I'm pretty sure he had something to do with decorating some of those sets and might remember seeing some of them.
Harry: For a second there I though that was one of mine. On both logos the bottom 'starbase **' type need to me nudged up a little and on the Rigel one, I'd recommend replacing "Rigel Six" with Rigel Sector or Orion Sector. Perhaps you could keep the Rigel VI type if you put it on a white box within the triangle, similar the the McKinley logo.

The sticker book was published at the time of TMP and lists the graphic designer of the film, Lee Cole, as the author, so I think its pretty authoritative. I suspect the versions in the Encyclopedia were redrawn by Okuda or Drexler, so might have certain inaccuracies. I dont recall seeing any of the door symbols in the movie, but that doesnt mean they werent there.
The triangular emblem on the red label is the only one that wasnt identified in the book, so I dont know what it is. It might be a generic shipping emblem, but all the other labels have a emblem for the specific contents of the cargo container.

Hmmm - The planetary system for Ilia's label... possible a representation of The Deltan system?
And mention of 'cargo' symbol... it'd be interesting to see one of them incorporated into the TOS uniform 'delta' logo seen on the Enterprise uniforms.

I think that has more to do with her position as a navigator.

Already done that.
Also since Dan seams to have overlooked these too...
