Next up we have the Trill. I know that technically this is thought of as the logo for the symbiosis commission, but it's all we really have for the Trill. At least as far as I know.
Second today is the Borg symbol. A little closer to the real deal than the previous version, but still very much styalised.

I think for the TOS Romulan symbol, the head and claws should look more like the wings and be angular. Also, the head should be much more prominent and strongly triangular and overlap the wings.

Is that intentional to have a shillohette of a man on the left and a woman on the right flanking the circle on the 2161 badge? I.e. look at the gold 'wreath' bits... they are shillhouettes.

Point taken. How's this?

That would defeat the purpose of design somthing original, besides I don't even know what it looks like.

I do belive that was FJ's intention.
P.S. Another, slightly more interesting version of the Borg symbol.

Gold-pass Borg?
How about the Boomerang from the walls of TOS starbases? Or the Klingon emblem from the wall of Kor's office in Errand of Mercy (I think it showed up again). There was a thread about it here - many moons ago.
Obsidian Order/Tal'Shiar emblems? I wonder what the Klingon intelligence (and oxymoron??) and Section 31 emblems look like?

Yeah...umm...there isn't much I can do with that one, but I'll give it a shot.

Give me a link and I'll see what I can do.

Both Obsidian Order and Tal'Shiar are on my to-do list, but the Tal'Shiar one is going to be a little bit tricky.
I imagine the Klingon Intelligence logo looks just like most Klingon logos; red, yellow and spiky. I seriously doubt that Section 31 has a logo and if they did it'd probably just be the old FJ Federation Seal with '31' superimposed on the star field, nothing spectacular.

It's supposed to be 2830, which I randomly chose as the decade in which the U.S.S. Relativity is based.

Rev, I'd go even larger and more angular with that head. Your wings in that emblem are very angular with no small details at all. However, the head has small eyes and beak details. Also, I think the head in the TNG logo is much larger, about half the width of the entire emblem. The head in your version should be at least that large. The talons should also be more angular.
Edit: I was watching "And the Children Shall Lead" yesterday and noticed that on the UFP standard/banner the lettering is actually gold, not white (The stars are white). I've been drawing this wrong for years!

Ok, I've enlarged the head about as much as I dare and made it a little less detailed and a little more stylised. I'm not sure how to make the claws look more angular without them looking disproportionate. I had a go but it looked just crap.

That's better. But the wings are still visually overpowering the head and still look like they are in front of the head, especially since the wings' thick black border is intact all around. The head should be clearly standing out in front of the wings. Maybe the lines used to constuct it should be as dark as the lines in the wings? Another possible problem is that the head is now mirroring the knife blade-ish thing between the wings. Perhaps making the head half blue and half green would help.
The claws are the only organic-looking things on the whole emblem, so they look a bit out of place. If making them angular is too busy, think about reducing their number or enlarging the globe and claw.
