Interpol and the Terran Empire

My good friend Dr. Brad Sandor stumbled across this priceless comparison while looking for information on interpolation routines.

It would be interesting to know if Star Trek borrowed the design from Interpol. The emblem of the United Federation of Planets is based on that of the United Nations:
