As for the Tholian logo; not being someone who has ever bothered with
"Space: Above and Beyond" I didn't pick up on that reference.
Still I think it works well as the Tholian logo, with it's dark red
tint and it's hard faceted edges it's certainly better than the old "two
crystals on a grid" version.

Interesting thread, btw. . Lots of fictitious logos, but also some fact 'bout those which acutally appeared in the series somewhere.
You might want to check the Gorm logo as well
On 2nd thought, what this Mr. Mandel used might not be
canon if there's something like that 'bout the Tholians at all - info about them is sketchy and contradictory anyway.
I'll try to get hold of ENT 4.18 + 4.19 "In A Mirror, Darkly Part I+II" and have a look if there's a logo displayed somewhere.
