Yeah there was an odd-shaped one worn by the Antares crew members in Charlie X.
3) Lexington (can't recall that one offhand but Bob Wesley wore it.)

I believe there were two or three others (I can't recall if Charlie X gave us another one or Bread and Circuses did).
Regarding ENT, I seem to recall that they folks who did that episode borrowed a fan-created insignia design for the Defiant... anyone able to confirm/deny that?3) Lexington (can't recall that one offhand but Bob Wesley wore it.)
We only saw Bob Wesley wearing the shore/base starburst broach (it was a found 60s item; a piece of costume jewelry). Everyone on the Lexington had their backs to the camera, except for Wesley, when the bridge was shown.
In "Charlie X," there was an odd-shaped heart with swirls, like the science insignia, in the middle on the Antares crew uniforms (which were redressed pilot unis).I believe there were two or three others (I can't recall if Charlie X gave us another one or Bread and Circuses did).
No new ship patch was seen in "Bread and Circuses."
However, in "Court Martial," we saw officers not stationed on the Big E wearing the delta. It was also seen, somewhat obscured, on the Defiant crew in "The Tholian Web." Although, the ENT producers decided to create a patch for that ship.
Mike Okuda adapted the "boomerang" chevron that is part of the TOS Enterprise's hull markings (visible on either side of the engineering hull and on the outboard sides of the nacelles) into the uniform insignias for the Defiant in the "Star Trek Enterprise" episodes.

I'll give you an even simpler one: The arrowhead was always the Starfleet emblem and was also used by the Starfleet flagship, which, by some interpretations, happened to be the Enterprise.
Regardless, about 95% of the people in this world have no clue that different ships in TOS used different emblems, so why bog down the new movie with such a trivial item that will simply be confusing to most people?
They shouldn't.
Gene was just a man, folks. A dope-smoking womanizing greedy man...
I like that one, but the only way to accept that is to accept that some stuff seen on-screen (ie, "background" characters in episodes like "Court Martial") wear the arrowhead and aren't on the Enterprise.I think it's even simpler and jibes with what the TOS producers seemed to have in mind. Each ship had its own symbol. Starfleet decided to honour the Enterprise and her missions by switching to the Arrowhead design after her famous five year mission.
Well, to be fair... the same 95% of the people in this world you mention, probably have no idea what the "arrowhead" is in the first place.I'll give you an even simpler one: The arrowhead was always the Starfleet emblem and was also used by the Starfleet flagship, which, by some interpretations, happened to be the Enterprise.

Hey I'm not all that hung up on such a small issue myself (though I will admit, it's a tad incongruous when every other piece of info we have about the upcoming movie indicates they have gone to great lengths to preserve the original flavour of Trek). I am eagerly awaiting JJ's new interpretation of Star Trek and wish him all the luck in the world. I want the new film to be a big success as much as any of you.
I'm just pointing out that reflecting on the fact that Gene was a flawed human being is not in itself reason enough to disregard him or his creative vision.
