Logos and insignia: Flags of the Federation
September 3rd, 2008
Welcome to a new feature showcasing logos, insignia, flags and other symbols found in the Star Trek universe. First up, a selected overview of Federation flags and symbols.
Federation symbols and flags in the 22nd century.
There is plenty of conjecture involved with regards to the dating. I’ve interpreted the Enterprise Federation logo seen in that horrific Riker episode as the Coalition of Planets seal, as a forerunner to the UFP proper. As a first UFP seal I’ve used the classic design from Franz Joseph’s Star Fleet Technical Manual. The Vulcan conference banner is my own design.
Federation symbols and flags in the 23rd century.
In TOS, we saw the little red flag depicted above used as a kind of Federation device. It could be the actual flag of the Federation, but by the very casual way it’s handled in the episode, it may have been a less official symbol of either Starfleet, the Starnes colony itself, or the Federation. I’m assuming it was the Starfleet ensign, similar in role to American Navy Jack.
Federation symbols and flags in the 24th century.
In the 24th century we are introduced to the most commonly known style of flags, shown multiple times in TNG and DS9. In the world of novels, the Palais de la Concorde is the seat of the Federation President in Paris.

These symbols, flags, banners, of the Starfleet Command and Shipyards are Very Good. I am interested in somthing called the ( Henderson Shipyards of SF ), as somehow depicted for the future – which I may have the story – wrong ?.
I sence that somthing like this will happen someday in the Future – for real, and that the idea of industry and engineering almost self-equiping itself to meet these Future Challenges – is real.
As a part-time scientist, I am working in a project called Starfire – to develop the idea of the Formation Engine in propulsion – unconventional. I have taken time to look at your site, to inspire myself and look to the real development of the Future. Let me know – if we can talk about this more ?.
Thank you, Vince
