Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

JoBlo.com posted new exclusive spy photos from the set of J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie.
According to the site "These are some pics from the set of Starfleet Academy. The location is California State University of Northridge and the school library is being used as a... well, school. This shows some nice costumes and art design. During filming, all the extras run over to the right side of the field, to the blue screen and point, as if something big crashes."
You can find the photos here.

Starfleet Academy was founded in 2161. That's pre-TOS (~2266-2269). Use of the delta arrowhead for Academy insignia is canon.
Actually, that's incorrect. Anyone who has seen an episode of TOS knows that each ship in Starfleet had it's own shape of symbol for use on the uniform and other applications.
Indeed, when Starfleet situations (like court martials or hearings) were shown in TOS the symbol on the walls were NOT the delta arrowhead, but the "boomerang" shape that's seen on both sides of NCC-1701's hull, likely making it universal Starfleet symbol of the time. [See Image below]
It wasn't until after TOS but before TMP (2269-71), that the delta arrowhead symbol of the USS Enteprise was adopted for all of Starfleet. 'Canon' says this was a way of honoring the crew as being the only ship to return from it's five-year mission...or something to that effect.
This means the Starfleet logos that Trexx chose to show were from a more modern era, therefore giving a ligitamate argument as to why arrowhead deltas would be hanging from lightposts at the Academy in the new film..
... unless this scene was depicting a ceremony for new cadets destined for the Enterprise only :)
