It just occured to me that the angle of the new Enterprise pic is virtually identical to the one that started the whole sombrero phenomenon.
Photoshop Enterprise!
- Thread starter TOSTNGDS9VOYENT
- Start date
It's already been started in the Blue Warp Nacelles thread!
Not to get off subject, but I took the photo of the new ship and used it to make the Kelvin, just for the fun of it.

OK. i posted this in Trek Art so maybe I'm spamming, but this is my redo of the redo.
This is quite good. Though it's farther from the original, it has a certain unity and lack of excessive blue. I actually don't mind that they changed the ship - I accepted that months ago after I saw the trailer. But man, the ship just looks so non-kickass.
Those nacelle goiters still look dumb to me.
Here's mine. 
I have a WIP thread over in Art.

That actually looks pretty good (althought obviously it will have different styling as its older), hopefully what Church said about the nacelles may imply they light up red on the Enterprise similar to your picture
Exactly. I was fairly certain they'd pick up on that sooner or later anyway. In fact, one wonders if it was done on purpose to make the photoshopping easier.

OMG, that was quick....
You gonna show it in other views as well ?

Sounds like the nacelles are in a casing which will be removed before we see the final version.
Check out my WIP thread over in the art section. I have updated renders over there.

I can see how JJ's E could lead to Matt's E....
Observe. Here's the new and sleek (and, IMHO, COOL) JJ-Enterprise:
Okay. Now first of all, I tip my hat to JJ and Co., for keeping the basic "idea" of Matt Jefferies's design. She's beautiful, guys. Well done!
However, as others have noted, there are some significant differences. For one, the secondary hull juts out a bit. (This is my only real beef with it, frankly.... It kinda looks wierd.) For another, the nacelles have a somewhat sleeker, more aerodynamic design. Note the "pocket" right under the main cylinder shape.
Some have asked, "Well, now that this version is supposedly "cooler" than the TOS version, why the heck would Starfleet WANT to refit it to the classic shape for the series?"
Well...let's look at possible "refits", set between the movie and the series.
This one was coined by TrekMovie.com's own Spockboy Paul:
RIGHT AWAY, with the secondary hull's "jut" removed (and some "thickening", no doubt to allow for more room for new technologies), it looks A LOT more like the "Classic-E"!
NOW...all you need to do is remove the nacelle "pockets"...change the colors of the nacelle caps and the deflector dish...complete with some decals on the nacelles and secondary hull...AND YOU HAVE THE OL' GIRL AS WE KNOW HER!!!
With the minor 21st-Century tweaks, of course (like the visible torpedo launchers, and the slight curves you see on the seconadry hull's "nacelle connectors").
Hey, why don't y'all try it out, and see what I mean?
BTW, please don't talk to me about Daniel Broadway's design:
Sorry...but he made the girl look fat....

Re: I can see how JJ's E could lead to Matt's E....
On the subject of one ship leading to another, the "JJ" Enterprise has an unexpected feature. It fills in the continuity between TAS's Bonaventure (first warp-drive starship) and the TOS Enterprise.
I previously thought the Bonaventure an improbably ugly starship configuration, with its "pregnant" secondary hull, jutting sensor dish, and tightly-positioned, atypical warp nacelles. But the ST XI Enterprise seems a transitional step between those features and the elegant TOS design.

So does this mean JJ Abrams considers TAS canon? And if so, will there be a reference to Yesteryear (as Trek XI is not the first time for Spock to go back in time to directly affect his life.

The Spockboy one is a nice job, but then he does that a lot.
Actually, Rush, we have been, ever since the Enterprise image was first released. Why don't I just merge your thread with that one, and you can check out what some of our forum regulars have been up to? There are also lots to see in the Here it is - no bloody "A", "B" "C" or "D" thread.
