I just checked and you're right, the 8472 logo is basically a purple version of the Tholian one.
As others have pointed out 8472 don't appear to have a verbal or written language, hell they don't even have a name for themselves! So I'd be inclined to ignore the Starship Spotter and keep the logo for the Tholians. At least until ENT provides us with something different.

Didn't anyone else notice from Starship Spotter? I'm not debating whether 8472 has a language or anything. I just know when I saw the Star Charts for the first time, I knew the Tholian symbol was one I had seen somewhere before. The shape is blue but the language marks are identical. I don't know if the Bioships sported this marking or not. I don't remember seeing it...

Um - OK, I've just looked at the Borg logo so far - nice but I thought there was a large 'oval' at the bottom - things look out of proportion.
I haven't gotten to the Breen logo but ABOUT TIME!!
I remember seeing a flash of it on DS9 - so did you take it from this - cause things from the ST:star charts don't count.

P.S. Did they ever have a Kazon Logo - cause I noticed it used to be on their bridges. ALthough it could have been a Trabe logo - but if they Kazon hated the Trabe - they would have gotten rid of any Trabe emblems.

OK I've just looked at the Doug Drexler Borg symbol - you've got it spot on - don't know what I was thinking. He though has a square yellow and black background (that sorta looks like the insides of a computer junction/panel on TNG/DS9/Voyager!

Ok I've looked at ALL of them. Can I just say this FRELL! They're FRELLING AWESOME!!
What program did you use? How'd you do all the intracacies of the Romulan Logo (I prefer this one to the Nemesis one).
Now for me to blow my own trumpet - I did something like this a (few years ago now I think!!) I never posted it. I wasn't happy with how the Klingon one had the non-smooth edges.
I enjoyed his second design of a Federation logo and told him I was going to use it in my Okazaki project (lego mini-fig scale starship). He posted another version of the logo, but I much prefer the first.

Just because Topher likes that kind of thing, here's the pansy version of the Klingon logo.
Personally I prefer the TUC black white and red version...infact I like just about all the graphics work done on that movie.

Same one that I always use. I traced the Romulan logo and it was most tedious and took alot of patience.
I have made a start of the Nemesis one but it's proving even more difficult and I'm having trouble getting good reference material.

I posed the non-stylised version simply because that is the correct one that was seen on screen, plus it would probably come out clearer on those stickers than the version with the high contrast gradient.
I've always wondered if the Ferengi logo is supposed to be a stylized version of their ears. Using a pseudo-sexual organ as an identifier for your species doesn't seem like a great idea... It's be like using a stylized boob to represent humanity...
Anyway... I've always wondered that...
I think Andy Probert designed that Logo, as it was on his early sketches of the Ferengi. I'll try to remember to ask him about it.

Here are some symbols I made in Illustrator some time ago. I have all the ones shown previously, so I've only added a few new ones to the mix of what we've seen here.
Here's the asked about Kazon symbol. It's depicted on their spacecraft:
And lastly, just for fun, here's the Subspace Relay symbol first used for Epsilon IX and later used for the relay graphic showing communication across the Bajoran Wormhole:
