CAPTAIN ROBAU APPROVES!
POLARIZE THE VIEWSCREEN!
POLARIZE THE VIEWSCREEN!
WHY NOT USE SNAPCHAT FILTERS ON THE VIEW SCREEN? IT WILL MAKE THE KLINGONS FESTIVE!
WHAT YOU HAD TO DO! TURN THIS THREAD INTO A SHOUTY CHANCE TO LIVE!
STARTED A SHOUTY THREAD IT SEEMS
I HAD A SERIOUS QUESTION!!
WONDERING IF THE VIEW SCREEN HAS SNAPCHAT FILTERS IS ALSO A SERIOUS QUESTION!
I love the metal pins/com badges of TWOK, TNG, DS9/VOY+variants, Kelvin, STD, they all look great and make great collectibles. However practically, embroidered/printed insignia (TOS, TMP, ENT) make more sense. They can't catch on anything, fall off, be easily taken etc.
I like the new ones, rank pins are a cool addition. I think the split is purely aesthetic. The pins and uniforms make little sense canonically, but design vise at least, I think we have to accept that little will in Discovery.

The embroidered badges also harder to ditch if you're in a situation where being identified as Starfleet could be hazardous to your health.
Haha very true!! Though the uniforms probably don't help there either. You could ditch that, though it might leave you a little exposed!The embroidered badges also harder to ditch if you're in a situation where being identified as Starfleet could be hazardous to your health.
Maybe one part is a stun grenade and the other part is a disintegration blast grenade? *insert line about how it would be best not to confuse them*
MADNESS?
THIS...IS...SHENZHOU!

Well the Kelvin crew all have the 'Enterprise patch' as their logo, as do the crew of the Franklin which preceded the Kelvin, so it would seem the only aberration from this being Starfleet's logo is the collection of different patches seen in TOS. Other than that, it's been pretty consistently the emblem of Starfleet from some point shortly after the end of Enterprise.
With Bob Justman admitting it was an error in TOS, I see no issue changing it. Even though I personally think the idea of differing patches is cool.
I've seen another explanation that suggests the patches are for different fleets. And it opens up the suggestion that perhaps the split arrowhead is just that -- representation of another fleet.
Personally I have no problem with that idea.
Then again, I have no problem with the arrowhead being in place because it's a recognizable Star Trek symbol either. As I inferred in another thread, the end of MST3K's theme song is something I say to myself relatively frequently while reading Star Trek boards.
