The DS9 model is up for auction, so we all get to enjoy some great reference photographs! 🧵 Image

I deleted this post because, embarrassingly, it turns out to be a fake. 😐 Not that something like this matters in the big scheme of things, but without any history it's just a rather naff logo that I'd rather not leave up without context. Thanks to @GeekFilter for the heads-up.
Image My BS senses did twinge a little, but I trusted the source and the image looked pretty authentic. Oh well. Luckily it didn't take very long to make.

Here's the rest of the original thread for more context.

IMO, the best Star Trek uniforms are the simple ones. No need to overdo things. Image My personal favourite uniforms might be the standard ones from Beyond. And you might assume that I hate the field jacket as it features so many of the design tropes I parodied in my picture, but oddly enough I quite like it! I contain multitudes. 😅

Happy belated 25th Anniversary to #StarTrek

1991 gave us The Undiscovered Country and TNG seasons 4 and 5. What a great vintage.

Here's some of the ref material I used. I also tracked down the bevelled font likely used for the '25th Anniversary' text.

Assorted reference materials; photos of VHS box art, computer game packaging, magazine covers etc.
The font used for the '25th Anniversary' text was likely a combination of MARK 1 and MARK 2, tho I couldn't find good images of those, nor a digital version. Instead I used BAGUET DISPLAY CAPS, which was a facsimile of MARK 3 and so still needed some modifications to work.

I adjusted the Lower Decks SNW uniforms to better match the proportions of the originals. ImageImage More images for comparison, including a typical cosplay example. The SNW version looks good, I just think a closer match could have been better still. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

WEIRD STARFLEET SHIPS, a thread. 🧵

I've been compiling some notes on #StarTrek fonts with an eye to maybe putting together a definitive list on a webpage or something. IDK.

Then I thought, in the meantime why not make it into a thread? So that's the fascinating backstory to this thread! 🧵 [001/???] The classic STAR TREK lettering was designed by the legendary Richard Edlund and was later digitised by Bitstream for a Star Trek font pack released in 1992. Originally the font was simply titled ‘Star Trek’, it has since been renamed to HORIZON. Above: The original STAR TREK (1966) opening title. Below: OThere are some notable differences between Bitstream's Horiz

Something I've been working on for a little while – a ‘missing page’ from the classic Franz Joseph technical manual detailing the new TOS-era Stargazer made for #StarTrekPicard by @BuckAdmiral Looking like a page from the 1975 Franz Joseph Star Fleet TeAnother Stargazer blueprint, in white lines on blue paper, sA printout of my Stargazer page photographed alongside Josep One deficiency of my page is that the font I used wasn't a great match to the original Joseph drawings. Thanks to @DewlineO for pointing out this font based on the exact stencil used! It has some kerning issues but is still a huge improvement.

Back in 2005-2007 there was an animated #StarTrek show in development called 'Final Frontier'. I'm sure this is old news to many fans, but I only knew vague details. It's a fascinating read – ESPECIALLY now! 🧵

A 3D model of a shuttlecraft called 'The Dragonfly', that looks a bit like a spindly Starfury… if that helps! …The series was going to be set 150 years after TNG, in the wake of a vicious attack that has made warp travel impossible throughout much of the galaxy. Sound familiar? Consequently the Federation has withdrawn and become more isolationist. Hmm… 🤔
Overview: In the wake of a vicious attack, warp travel has been rendered useless throughout much of Federation space. The detonation of multiple Omega devices has ripped subspace apart, marooning a handful of Federation worlds in their own systems, destroying key starbases, and stranding some Federation citizens decades of sublight travel away from their nearest neighbors and the protection of Starfleet. After investigating the attacks, the Federation discovered evidence of Romulan involvement and, desperate to retaliate, immediately declared war. The second Romulan war began, with the Romu...
