Starfleet Mos Pins

I was looking at Navy uniforms last night for inspiration, and was wondering if anyone had ever thought up Starfleet MOS (military operational specialty) pins for the officers. I could've sworn I saw them online years ago, but I don't know where it might've been.
 
The color is part of it, yes, and the emblems from TOS are kind of what I was thinking, but looking at the ratings and badges of the USN and wondering what the Starfleet versions of those would be in 200-300 years.
 
Starfleet Dynamics had it, and its predecessor Line Officers, and Staff Officers books.

That rings a bell. - I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but I wasn't sure which one. I was thinking either that, the original technical manual or possibly the Galileo tech manual.

I had stumbled upon this years ago and thought it was a good breakdown:

Some of those make sense, some not so much.

Command, Trainees, Cadets, Medical and R & D are all solid choices.

Tactical is distinct from Security but uses a symbol worn only by Security canonically (who instead use a non-canon symbol).

Special Services uses the Communications logo, but doesn't include Communications (which is grouped with Navigation under a non-canon symbol).

Helm is grouped with Engineering under the canon Operations (but possibly not Engineering) logo, and doesn't include Tactical despite Helm (and/or Navigation) being responsible for that function during the era.
