ORIGINS: Test Ship Insignia Page

From StarFleet Bureau of Information

Introduction

These insignia were created as an attempt to blend some of the elements we loved about The Original Series (TOS)- namely, an individualized symbol representing each ship (something that has been carried over into the PRIME universe with their shoulder flashing patches)- and the 2009 Star Trek movie. As such, while much supporting evidence from canonical and apocryphal TOS-era sources were used, they were created as solid metal pins as the insignia in Star Trek were instead of TOS-style patches.

Insignia Assigned based on Canonical Evidence

These starships, because of canonical evidence, already have established devices representing the ships.
