The only ones I've seen is the one from the RPG (seen at Memory Beta: http://startrek.wikia.com/wiki/Tellar ). I'd like this for my map project. Also, are there any Vulcan emblems other than that IDIC thing.

There's always the old Franz Joseph tech manual where the Federation is suggested to consist of (or at least to have been founded by) folks from Earth, Alpha Centauri, 40 Eridani, 61 Cygni and Epsilon Indi. That is, Earthlings, Centaurians, Vulcans, Tellarites and Andorians, even though FJ doesn't say that much.
The 61 Cygni sign is a very Earth-centric design featuring, you guessed it, a swan, its wings raised to cradle some symbology. The Epsilon Indi one is a boring regular stars-and-stripes style flag with a white seven-armed Maltese cross in place of the stars, and just seven stripes in rainbow colors, red up and violet down.

My theory on this is that all were supposed to be Earth colonies, and only later they were connected with being the homes of alien races.
I had a look in the FASA manuals, the Star Trek IV supplemental indeed gives logos for the Federation races:

The Tellarite logo is a pig? Who came up with that?
To answer Andrew's question, no, there was no apparent Tellarite logo used on Enterprise. There are a few candidates from other souces, though the only one I can recall is an unidentified banner from the Khitomer scenes in ST:VI. As I recall it was a red triangle pointing down with what looked like yellow leaves wrapped around it and a black upwards pointing triangle as a background. It was on my to-do list, but I never got around to it.

Thanks, Kobi, but that FASA emblem's...not useful! It's as if the Earth emblem had an angry gorilla on it.
Also, Timo, I know about those FJ emblems, but I'm trying to forget about them. However, some were used in the movies, but weren't really identified (ignorable).
I think Bernd might have come up with a banner or something. I'll have to rummage around my hard disc a bit.
Anyone know of any other Vulcan emblems (hopefully without hammers, anvils, or volcanoes)?
Edit: Found some Fed flags Bernd sent me:

Only ones with rubber tires, bombers, & motorcycles.

I think it is just important to show that the flags or coat-of-arms are alien enough. Just look how different the present day coat-of-arms from European/American states are to those from Arabian world and Asia.
Edit: Just had a look at LUG's Planets of the UFP, in an image depicting first contact between Tellarites and off-worlders the Tellarites carry standards with big discs on top. The discs are framed ... fits very good with Bernd's red disc and the yellow frame.

I don't know about Masao, but that helps ME out a lot.
