Paramount+ 60th Anniversary Intro

Ok, let me nitpick this to death:
  • This is the first time we actually see the classic TOS connie jump to warp
  • They used the SNW opening titles cgi model - not the in-series ship model (round neck)
  • The two saucer exhaust ports of the Ent-D shouldn't glow red - the impulse engine is the thing at the neck
  • The sizes are a bit weird - looks like the Defiant is gigantic, but the Athena fragile & fiddly
  • Why are the surfaces so shiny? It looks almost like they're mirrors
  • Animator put the wrong texture for Defiant's yellow Starfleet delta decal. That shines brighter than the actual windows.
  • They forgot or ignored the ships from PIC, S31 & the Kelvin ships. Good.
  • However ignoring the Ent-E (while having the classic & the -A) is blasphemy
  • The red & yellow in the warp tunnel look goofy
  • The Ent-D should have asymmetric shuttlebays. #notmyTrek
  • Voyagers nacelles not in warp mode (already mentioned)
  • Wrong windows on Discovery's neck
  • I do like that they went by by production date, not in-universe chronological
Overall - a cheap copy of ENT's "These are the Voyages" montage. I love it.
Also, as long as we're nitpicking, the Enterprise-A's warp nacelles should be blue since it is flying at warp speed.
 
They took assets that some very good artists released for non-commercial, personal use released and used them yeah. And again, they effed them up when converting and using them. so whoever was behind the wheel was ignorant as well as insulting and thieving.

Could you elaborate?
I have been wondering where some of the models that were used for the PIC season 3 fleet museum scenes came from. Were any of those used for this logo as well?

The Trek CG Fan Art community isn't that big, especially narrowing it down to people who put up good-quality models for downloads. I can rule out Chris Kuhn, since he explicitly releases all his fan-art as "CC0," no restrictions on use whatsoever, but that still leaves at least three people I can name off the top of my head, and I'm not familiar enough with the quirks of their specific models to be able to identify them on-sight.
 
The San Francisco scene got cheers and claps too, still waiting for that to be uploaded separately on non-geoblocked youtube so I can share it with friends who still hesitate to watch...
 
Paramount may be many things, but they are not legally stupid. There is no way, IMHO, that they are just going to steal someone else's intellectual property and use it without consent. Not only would that open them to lawsuits, but it would also set quite the precedent the next time they wanted to sue someone else for using their Star Trek IP. I just don't believe that happened in this case.
