Maybe the Klingon emblems have been directional arrows all this time and we've just never realized. It's just that every Klingon place we've seen ever since TNG has been on the bottom floor.

There's all kinds of cool directions you could take that as a design element -- emblems pointing up and down in a Klingon turbolift, dials on a control panel...
True - even the Starfleet delta would be tilted on its side if a person's wardrobe required it!

No wonder they thought he was guilty in The Undiscovered Country; he'd done the magnetic boot thing before.Oh, please. Kirk is obviously wearing magnetic boots and walking up the walk in that picture
This might be a good moment to refer to The Official Fan Art Lounge again, which exists for exactly these kind of interesting side discussions. Just sayin' … 
You beat me to it.No wonder they thought he was guilty in The Undiscovered Country; he'd done the magnetic boot thing before.
That might come to mind more often if it were pinned to the top to remind us.This might be a good moment to refer to The Official Fan Art Lounge again, which exists for exactly these kind of interesting side discussions. Just sayin' …
^BK makes a good point; the lounge thread is currently near the bottom of Page 2.
Yeap and the Enterprise was supposed to be upside-down, until Gene flipped it....make of that what you will.
I remember the story was that the Enterprise was designed the way we remember, but Roddenberry picked up the model by a string during a press appearance, so it flipped upside down, so TV Guide(?) printed their stock photos of the ship upside-down because that's how the reporter saw it.
The Reliant was flipped upside-down during the design process, is that what you're thinking of?
No lol...it was the TOS enterprise during the designing stages, not the finished one. And you are correct, the reliant as well
That sounds nearly identical to the Reliant approval process. 
That outlet behind Kirk and Spock looks like it's in need of some maintenance. I hope a team comes by to repair it sometime soon.
Guys, move this to random discussions please?
I was wondering if Donny was back at the Klingon artwork, but...
On the matter of the Klingon trifoil, I actually wish some Trek presentation would present it sideways "as intended" originally. Just to be different.
Then again, I'd also like to see the original Klingon sigil make a comeback.

IIRC, it resembles the symbol on Kor's baldric. That may be the symbol of Kor's house, since he's the one who made the proclamation.
And three-dimensionally as the wall sconce as well:

Good catch! That might have been the inspiration for the design’s use everywhere else.
