They also have a hamster on a wheel to indicate the warp core...
I mentioned that.
Well played, Rear Admiral Nerdman.
[*STARES IN MENDEZ*]
I believe wedgies also had something to do with it. Giving someone the old 'commodore' didn't quite have the same pazzaz as giving someone the old 'rear admiral (lower half)'
Well, you gotta admit -- the latter one is much more localized....
TNG season 1 does feature one-star flag officers who are addressed as "Admiral" rather than "Commodore."
Trekcore has a photo of the new badge, or at least a replica being given out at the premier: https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/1216892503703486465
I can't wait to buy one from QMx.
I say this every time, but I wish the fan guesstimate from the early spy photos was the 2399 badge:
Yeah, that's a lot worse than the actual one we're going to get.
i wonder if the silver and black color scheme represents something in the show or if it's just for merch.
Huh... those really look quite different. I wonder if this is a "what color is the dress" kind-of deal or if there really are different designs. Maybe the gold/silver version is standard use and black/blue goes with S31, like they do in Disco. They're pulling a lot from that series into this one - why not the badge design as well?
Perhaps it is a trick of the light and the combadge actually is gold / silver.
But something that's been nagging at me since the discussion about the apparent Rear Admiral Lower Half pip is: if this is an admiral we're seeing, what's the significance of her division color? How often do we see admirals in operations gold?
I believe there are two possible explanations:
1) We're seeing a Rear Admiral Lower Half in charge of something engineering related: perhaps the Starfleet Corps of Engineers / the rebuilding of Utopia Planitia.
2) Picard era uniforms are shifting back to command gold / operations red, perhaps to maintain a visual continuity with the redesigned TOS uniforms from DSC (and perhaps the rumored Pike miniseries).
