If my scanner was working then I...wouldn't. Sorry, I perfer not to bend the spine of my new and rather flimsy book. Perhaps someone else will be more charitable? (and have a working scanner)
In the mean time here's another logo, this time it's the UESPA command seal.
Only thing I see (I nitpick because I love): The red Swoosh thing looks a little... distorted. Like it's not quite a perfect oval. It looks like it has some flat spots in it. Specifically, the lower half seems off. Now, if that's the way you intended it, ignore me. But if you were looking to get a perfect oval, play with your paths just a smidge.

Yeah, I know it's not perfect but curves like that are hard enough to get right without also having to make sure the shadow object behind it lines up with the same curve.
"Beyond the Rim" - apart from sounding like a gay porn flick... the Valiant wasn't specifically headed for the Edge of the Galaxy - they were just swept there.
The delta symbol - it would be FANTASTIC if you could use the TOS 'starfleet' symbol. The little yellow arrowhead seen on the side of the ship - ALSO often seen on Starbases. There is an image somewhere on flare-upload (I don't know how I'd find it) I used to have it on my computer but I think it's gone now - from "Court Martial". The Girl, Spock, McCoy and the Asian Ensign Girl sitting in the 'court room' and behind them is a rather large Starfleet symbol from TOS - like what was seen on the side of the ship.

And where is Antarctica and New Zealand on that map of the Earth!?! (Well NZ could be there).

I was just curious. If you were using Photoshop, I could tell you how to fix the curves with little fuss... but I know nothing about Paintshop Pro.

Possible, but I haven't seen that episode in ages so I don't recall exactly. It was really just ment as a sort of a tribute to B5.

Wrong period I'm afraid. What you see here is the same UESPA symbol that was seen on the "Friendship One" probe, the starfleet boomerang wouldn't appear for another century or two. I did infact use it in my TOS-era Transport command logo seen here.

That's just me being lazy, I ripped that earth off of my Apollo-Class Project logo that I did some time ago. Which, by the way, was itself stolen from Nasa's Apollo program patch, So blame Nasa, not me
quote: Was the Valiant launched from San Francisco?
Possibly, it certainly looks that way on the patch. On the other hand it could just as easily been launched from Marin county
quote: What about one for... the Charybdis? or the Mariposa?
The Charybdis patch was actually seen on-screen, the lazy bastards just reused the Apollo 17 patch. I re-drew it and altered the details somewhat to make Apollo look more feminie (like Charybdis herself) and subtly changed the lettering and a few of the planets.
As for the Mariposa, I'm open to suggestions as to the format/layout/content.

Very nice NASA-style patches, Rev. Mine are usually more USN-ish.
A few nits! I like the Charybdis patch, but maybe the individual elements should be a bit larger. There's a lot of blue background to cover.
On the UESPA patch, the letters on the bottom are running together too much. I think the gold ring shades too much towards white, which makes the stars get lost. Part of the wreath is getting covered by the black edge of the shield, so you might have to shrink the globe and wreath some more.
