As far as we can tell, the shark is pretty much the same dimensions with regard to the rest of the patch. Which is more than can be said for the MACO lettering, which is too small. Compare it with the main image on my MACO page.

I don't know if you've done them yet, but there are a few different United Earth emblems too.
There's the current UN logo, also used in Masao's mid-22nd century.
There's the early TOS version: a blue americentric Earth and gold olive branches, with blue lettering. (note: there's also the plain black version, used on Class-B uniforms and office supplies).
And then there's the green TUC emblem with the white star.

No, I meant it was rather tubby for a Mako shark, not relative to the patch. Mako's are ocean going sharks, streamlined for crossing huge distances and catching prey at speeds. They're from a group known as the mackerel sharks, all superbly adapted for sea-going life. I suppose the Long-finned variety can get a little portly, but the one on the patch appears to have eaten all the pies, as we say over here.

Oh, I see. I guess they just wanted a generic shark look, something mean-looking. Could have been worse, they could have used a hammerhead, and the mere thought of THAT triggered SeaQuest flashbacks. . . *shudder*
Fucking hell, Kris, that was fast! And it's very nice too. I like your style and was looking forward to what kind of a polish you'd put on it. 8)

I mentioned before... about any other emblems/logos...
Obsidian Order (which is really cool - looks like an obsidian dagger) and the Tal Shi'ar (which isn't so great... maybe a new Tal Shi'ar logo could... oh don't bother - there IS no more Tal Shi'ar!
What about a Klingon Intelligence logo?
Do we see any Andorian patches in Enterprise?

Going blind looking at the screencaps, I think I see the lighter color at the left rim (our left) of the shark's body, on the right part of the head, and on the fin to the right.

Well guys, here's the website for ya. It's not officially available yet, but since the logos are all up, feel free to take a look. (I mainly have to write new descriptive text and so forth. It'll be finished in the next day or two, probably.)

Masao, pester Kris for those. I've tried making thumbnails out of those images, but the shadows and gradients make it hard to remove the background without lopping out part of the actual logo.
Kris is already working on thumbnails, but it'll probably be a little while before they're up.
