Yeah, they ain't redesigning it from the ground up because a few fans see a delta after staring at it obsessively for a week.

I love it! I've always liked the McQuarrie/Planet-of-the-Titans design and I'm glad we are gonna see it finally. Of course it's a different, more angular and crude redesign but I thinks it works perfectly as a post-ENT, pre-TOS ship. (At least I hope it's in a post-ENT, pre-TOS era!)
Have you seen the insides? Every single toilet is clogged... To fly this ship, you got to be crazy! The fuel system leaks all over the place! It's a piece of junk!How is that a punishment? If they're inside it, they don't have to look at the thing!
I see the IDIC.
I see triangles, circles, and rectangles!
The massive freakout is a little premature, I think.
After seeing it a few times I think it's actually a pretty cool design. There are interesting bits everywhere, like the "moat" around the bridge dome, the sunken area on top of the saucer allowing for more windows, the wider hangar door, hot rod ram scoops on the nacelles, etc.
There are angles in the teaser that make this ship look really sleek, not as clunky as I originally thought.
Also, the more some fans bitch about it the more I like it.

Unfortunately, Ralph McQuarrie is no longer with us, so I can only assume that someone tweeted on behalf of him or his estate.It isn't a Ralph McQuarrie design.
He tweeted it himself and said it was designed by Ken Adam.
He simply did the illustrations.

It was his Archives, whose Twitter account is under his name:

McQuarrie's concept art was just that. Concept. Not finished designs.
People need to calm down and wait for a trailer, so they can really start with the knee-jerk negativism.
If I could I would slap the Sanford and Son theme onto the teaser.
Me too. I won't be a bit surprised if this ship has something to do with that symbols creation by the Vulcan's.
I got the IDIC thing too, but I don't infer much from just a circle and triangle. Probably just a happy coincidence.
But this ship is a TNG era Ship model
^^
Based on what? I see more TMP era than anything else. Please tell me we are going back to beige as the color of the future too (trademark pending)?

To be fair, I saw the delta in about 2 seconds.
But, for my part, the only thing I'd really change about it would be a slightly larger point on the delta/bigger neck for the ship.
I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. To me it definitely looks like a post-ENT pre-TOS ship. And that's supported by the 1031 registry, isn't it?
The saucer is the best part, and I also like the angular nacelles.The massive freakout is a little premature, I think.

Perhaps this ship was intended as a stop gap...between the times when new uber designs were launched.
(And when new uber designs are launched, one the new ships will be named "Enterprise").
