Star Trek and MAC Cosmetics

[balls]

I picked up my wife and daughters at a local salon the other day. There was a MAC Cosmetics display with the 50th Anniversary products. My daughters did buy some. I was troubled, though, by the display. Specifically, the image of Uhura's uniform and insignia. They have command one and not the services division. Was that a conscious decision? Did somebody at Paramount/CBS miss it? It seems like an easy one to get right and they should have gotten it right.

It's such a small thing. Casual viewers are not likely to even notice, much less give a crap at all about such minutiae.

I doubt anyone in the creative process even noticed. It's a very minor detail from a non fans perspective.

But we're not casual viewers -- we're geeks!

Can't stop looking at the green chick. She ruined my crush on Dot Matrix.

As for Uhura, they meant to put her in the green uni, that's how they messed up on the insignia.

But hotlinked, I'm afraid, so I've converted to links.

@balls , I'm assuming beautyblog.es isn't your personal webspace. Please only post images from an image-hosting site like Photobucket.

I think the star insignia was a deliberate choice, because it's more attractive than the curled lighting bolt. There's no way commercial art was prepared without studying actual photos.
