Damn naggit, just found ANOTHER one.
Those Klingons must really like variety...either that or the different colour schemes each have a specific meaning.

That or, over the centuries, the Klingons have produced at least a handful of graphic designers who like to tinker with things. Unthinkable! perhaps.

Then there's the upside down one from the Klingon hell...

And I just thought about this, but in the Mirror Universe, the Klingons seem to be the predominant power lording over the Cardassians in their alliance, but the logo for them is the Cardassian logo with a little Klingon logo at the bottom.

Maybe the Klingons like variety in their symbols the way Starfleet likes variety in their starship designs. [Wink]

Remember too that in TOS the Klingon symbol used as a ship insignia was rotated 90 degrees clockwise from vertical. When was it first shown vertically?

Maybe the Klingons are a bunch of interior decorators at heart? [Smile]

That would be like changing the colour of a national flag everyonce in a while.

I think I'll go for the colour code theory, either that or each variation is specific to a certain house or fleet.

Maybe it's an indication of which is the ruling house in power at the time?

There are as many different logos featuring the U.S. flag's motifs as there are, uh, a series of numerous things. So, this does not strike me as a problem. We're talking about a star-spanning empire. There's enough room for a little variety.

Here's an improved version of the 2290 UFP seal.

 -

This is a TNG era UFP flag.

..and this is my concept for a TOS era UFP seal. (that red flag never really cut it for me)

Sweet!

Y'know, it's occurred to me that the Federation changes its symbols pretty damn often, too. Almost as often as Georgia, which says a lot. [Wink]

Because the UFP is by it's very nature an ever expanding organisation then it stands to reason that it would change it's main seal whenever it reaches a certain milestone in the number of member worlds.
Since the original TOS Flag had those 13 stars then perhaps at that time there were only 13 member worlds in the Federation, either that or 13 was the last milestone and there was actually 23 at the time.
Of course it could just as easily represent the 13 original founding members, or the 13 chapters of the Federation charter.


Anyway, here's another speculative UFP seal, this time it's a possible future logo.
