It wasn't until the movies that the delta became the Starfleet symbol.
Presumably this was a quiet retcon on Paramount's part, to give Star Trek its own symbol. I never recall it being mentioned in-universe anywhere that Starfleet adopted the Enterprise's Delta as its official symbol. (Never watched enough Enterprise to know if they carried the retcon to the prequel series or not.)

Hate to be one of those guys, but the "delta" symbol was, at the time Kirk was commanding the Enterprise in TOS, unique to the Enterprise. At that time each ship had their own symbol and the crewmembers all wore their own ship's symbol on the left side of their chest.

I have checked the occurences out with Mr. Roddenberry, who has reassured me that all Starship personnel wear the Starship emblem that we have established for our Enterprise Crew Members to wear.

A lot of people are throwing that out, but it's turning out to be not quite true:
Here's a link to a reddit thread with this, and I've seen it on other forums.

If I remember correctly, the only other Constitution-class ship emblem we saw was on Matt Decker's uniform in "Doomsday Machine," (U.S.S. Constellation).

The Exeter's uniforms had a different logo in The Omega Glory and I believe The Defiant's uniforms had a unique logo in The Tholian Web.

Well, the original crew movies had the same emblem for ALL of Starfleet, so this is something I'm fine with. I mean, the Klingons no longer look like they did in the original series and no one has a problem with that.

At this point I don't believe them.

And before that, the mostly accepted "fanon" was that the Klingon Empire was truly that: an empire, made up of multiple races that banded together under the name "Klingon".
Even setting aside the "smooth head" Klingons, we've seen numerous different kinds of head ridges on them over the years, so another design isn't really an issue for me.

In related news, we'll be getting a comprehensive Star Trek: DS9 documentary sometime next year, successfully crowdfunded to over 400% of its initial goal and completing all of its stretch goals. They even have enough money to re-master some clips in full HD. They have CBS' full support and pretty much everyone from the show is involved with the exception of Avery Brooks. Looking forward to seeing it!
