PCAP User Interface Design in Star Trek Beyond?

Does anyone know who did the UI design in Star Trek Beyond? It's easy to find who did it for Star Trek 2009 and Star Trek Into Darkness. The company is OOOii. But I can't find ANY information on who did the UI designs for Beyond.
 
I'm not sure, but I did notice they were all-new graphics made to resemble the 2009/ID ones. The only ones I've seen online were a few of the Yorktown poster and transporter pod graphics posted by the artist online.

you're referring to this person's work yes?

this is the most i've found as well, and i've looked hard.
 
I actually like the UI design in the first two movies more. It looks more futuristic and slick. Beyond went back to right angles and sharp corners and a font that looked like it was from the 80s. I figured someone else had to have done Beyond since the look didn't match the first two movies.
 
Dude, that's awesome! How did you make that prop?
thanks!

they released a little behind the scenes video showing the prop in pretty good detail, so i built it in 3D in rhino. my partner is an architect, so we used his office's 3D printer and mill to cut a piece of acrylic. used a string of LEDs from amazon so when i built the 3D model, i created a slot for the battery pack and enough room for the wire. the button works, but the blinkies on top are just for show - only one is illuminated and it's just one of the LED bulbs from the string stuck in there.

i always intended to go back and finish it, but halloween was a rush to get the uniforms finished and i never did the final touches - like the little graphic details on the handle and to actually affix the screen graphic with something better than scotch tape.

also i made a case for it from an art bin:

i ended up drunkenly dropping the PADD in the middle of the street at the end of the night, so now it has a slightly worn quality to it.
