Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

This is gonna sound really dumb, but I noticed that in Into Darkness the flight suit patches read "STAR FLEET" as two words instead of one.

They fixed it:D

Heh, I always thought that the two-word spelling was how it was done for the original series, but that may just be a misperception from the Frans Joseph's techincal publications, since as far as I know they never showed how it was spelled on screen.

They did show STARFLEET on screen, and it was one word. From "The Menagerie, Part I":

^ Actually, I got that from the DVD screencaps, to remove as much doubt as possible that anyone may have had, about whether it was that way originally.
 
Lol, I stand corrected, again

As it happens, I hardly ever watch The Menagerie, I really like The Cage, so just watch that version instead.
 
There's at least one onscreen occurrence of "Star Fleet," and interestingly, it's in the future portions of Voyager: "Endgame." Starfleet Medical has a fountain out front with "STAR FLEET MEDICAL FACILITY" engraved on it, but also has a sign on the building saying "STARFLEET MEDICAL CENTER." So perhaps the fountain is old enough that it uses an earlier spelling.
 
I seem to recall seeing instances of both, before it was eventually settled on just "Starfleet."
 
Something is different. Would it be a uniform?

I downloaded the picture and brightened the dark areas. From the look of those areas, I don't think it's a uniform. It almost looks like the top part of a seat.

That was my thought too. If it isn't, it's draped around a seat at least. The section on the right is very very straight.
