MinutiaeMan, you have an awesome site. It is the first time that I have been there and I am truly impressed. I can not wait until you get Anthropology 114 completely online.
quote: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.)
"Mission Patch of Ares IV Mission" should be "Ares Program Patch". The mission patch is red and hexagonal, something that I've yet to draw. I might also do a version with the correct spelling of 'Ares'.
The colour of the first Breen logo was a mistake since something funky happed when I scanned it and I didn't double check what the proper colours were.
"Deneva Colony Logo" Should be "Deneva-Class Development Project Patch".
The "Starfleet Command (Earth) Flag, ca. 2151" is probably inaccurate since it was based on a TINY screen cap and has been superseded by "First Flight" anyway.
"Sequoia Class Development Project Badge" Should be "Sequoia Class Construction Team Badge" Since it's for the yard worker who actually built the ship, not the ASDB lot who designed it. Something you'd probably find on the sides of workbees or spacesuits.
"Work Bee Development Project Patch" Is actually just a logo I did for a 3d modeller to put on the side of a workbee mesh, so it's just the logo for UP's Delta shift, on the ZZ2A construction platform.
For the "Trill Symbiosis Commission" I think it's been established that this is the actual logo for the Trill government. It's presence at the commission could be analogues to a high ranking US official, or doctor having the stars and strips hanging in their office. Being a Brit I don't know how common this practice is, but I've seen it in plenty of movies and TV shows.
For all the Federation planets, (Earth, Bajor, Tiburon etc.) it might be easier to group them if you add the prefix 'UFP Member:' I also suggest that you try and group the different types of logos together. For example, have all the mission patches grouped and sorted in chronological order, the independent aliens (Klingon, Vidians, Dominon, Cardassians) should be grouped in order of their quadrant of origin...you get the idea
(Just FYI, it'll probably have to wait until late this weekend, because there's going to be a Panther waiting for me when I get home tomorrow, and I'll be busy with an install for a little while, getting my hard drive reorganized... Sad, I know. )

Wasn't that the same Borg symbol, just placed on a flag? The filming miniature of the Lore-Borg starship had tiny black Borg symbols on several sides.

Some Klingon emblem from TMP (More and more). It's not THE Klingon logo, since the usual Klingon emblem is also on it. So it could be a major Klingon House or some Defense Force subdivision.

Hey, that same logo that Harry linked to is on the decals for the old AMT/ERTL Bird-of-Prey model! I'll be darned... THAT was supposed to be the old Klingon insignia?!?
(Likewise, there's also a logo/image-thing that I saw repeated a couple of times while I was watching my DVD of "Errand of Mercy." It was shown at the top of Kor's list of rules and regulations, and was also seen as a sort of 3D item on the wall in the same scene. It could easily be mistaken for native artwork, but I think it could be a logo of some sort.
I'll get some screenshots in a little while...

Nope. The Bird of Prey had a grayish dagger mark through a red circle with Klingon lettering through the gray.
The three linked images are specific to Kronos I, Chancellor Gorkon's flagship from Trek VI. (With the Fed-Klingon and USA-USSR parallels it was supposed to be a Klingon homage to the hammer-and-sicle emblem.) (Gorkon/Gorbechev, etc.)

Here's another curiosity - a strange emblem on a BOP - I've posted this pic here before. Is it possibly markings for when the BOP in STIII was going to be Romulan - and that that was going to be the Romulan symbol!?! Was there any Romulan symbol in TOS? Maybe the big bird on the undercarridge of the TOS BOP could be given a blue/green look like a TOS-y TNG emblem?
here's the pic:
ok flare upload doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
