This thread is for people who don't have illustrator and/or aren't very talented in art to ask whether someone could bare some of their rare spare time (nice Assonance) to do some little stuff for them.
Please don't post requests like "Oh I want deckplans for a 50-deck Sovereign class vessel. That is WAY beyond what people can and will do for somebody else's benefit. What you can ask for are small things like "a bronze combadge from about 2450" or "a dedication plaque with following details: [details]", maybe even "uniforms looking like that and that", but not enormous works like deckplans or schematics.
Then it is important to be kind to the artists. No, seriously. If everyone in this thread goes "That looks shit." or "WTF? I said BROWN not RED" then I bet that pretty soon we won't have any artists on the entire Trek BBS. If there's something wrong with one of their works - let it be! Don't forget, they're giving away their free time without earning a cent, so rather take the image as it is and then, when you use it, write something like "The second uniform on the left is supposed to be brown, not red." or "Please excuse that squiggley line."
Okay, and then, last thing, please properly credit the Artists. For example - I am not an artist, but this is just an example - "(c) made by friedebarth aka Frederic Bayer" and link to the post on Trek BBS. Maybe some people then go "oh wow I have to tell that guy that what he does is amazing and would like to see more" and click onto the link. Maybe they go on to viewing the public profile and mailing to the artist, telling them what good job they've done.
Right-eo, first one up is me: If anyone has time and feels like making a golden dedication plaque, here's what I would like to have:
Remember the Starfleet logo (ie combadge) which Riker wears while he is on the future Enterprise (which is a hologram created by Romulans which are holograms created by a human boy which is a hologram created by an alien boy)? I mean the one with the traditional symbol and then three lines below? And that's the symbol I'd like to have.
Then, below, it says:
"U.S.S. Enterprise
Efficacy-class, Starfleet Registry NCC-1701-G
Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars
Eighth starship to bear the name
Captain Abraham Lloyd Jones
"To glorious success we reach"
Command | Intelligence
Adm. Frederic Bayer | Adm. Rick Sternbach
Adm. Gene Roddenberry | Adm. Mike Okuda
Adm. Memory Gamma | Adm. Paramount Pictures

Adm. Sibylla Schloemer | Adm. Trek BBS
Adm. Bernhard Roerich | Adm. [Artist's Name]"
