Before STNG came out ET produced a 2-part video look at the show. One of my favorite parts at the time (immersed in my artwork as I was back then) was the concept work we saw with Herman Zimmerman and Andrew Probert. Looking at it now after the fact, we see the Sphinx Shuttle, which has since been fleshed out in CG, though never used on screen.
Check out the artwork at about 4:54.
Remember, this was in July and the show premiered in late Sept.
