Well, in tonight's episode, we got to see the rank insignia for an enlisted crewman. It looks like it was stitched onto the uniform. It looked like a standard arrowhead in a circle, with three angled bars on the left side of it.

Close? Terrible attempt? Proof positive Tom is graphically inept?

It looked more like (and I didn't see them that well) ...

It's closer to what Tom has, except I don't think the bars are attahed to the circular thingie.

I think Mark's right. To me, it definitely looked like there were two seperate pins. Looking at Novakovich's insignia, it looked like at times he was wearing a lieutenant's pin. So I really think that they're two distinct pins.

Yeah, that's what I thought ... I was surprised when Archer called him a "crewman" ...

Was it just me, or was there something in the middle of that black circle?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
To be honest, I thought that I saw a triangle or possibly a chevron in the circle. However, I was watching on a smallish size television and was sitting away from it. So I can't tell for certain.
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
The circle was certainly 3D and stuck out a bit in the middle, but I can't say I saw anything in it myself (again, admittedly on a small TV)
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
I saw it on a 27" screen and recorded it. There *does* seem to be something in the middle of the dark spot, but what it is escapes me.

Amended (though I won't stick something in the middle of the pip unless someone tells me what it looks like):
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
After a bit of digging around, I turned this up:
Clearly the round pip is detached, and it would appear the stripes aren't all the same length. I still think that the "something in the middle" of the pip is just the raised bulge in the middle reflecting light...
Another note... I noticed that the background extras in the messhall during "Unexpected" were pipless once again.

They're probably Crewman Recruits.

I just started to think that maybe enlisted insignia are optional in starfleet. it would explain Simon Tarses, the crewpeople on Voyager from their 'lower decks' show, whatever it was called, and the mess hall extras.
And it would make O'Brien pompous for always flaunting his chevrons
