    For the first time in a while, I got an idea right away...

    ...here's a first go: The flag of the Tholian Assembly, emphasizing their crystalline nature.

    ty! One of the best things in relaunch Treklit is the idea that the big mural in Quark's on DS9 was not actually a Tholian admiral, as Dukat had thought, but Tellarite porn and no one could tell.. :lol:

    This alone would make a nice pennant:

    The "L-functions and Modular Forms Database," abbreviated LMFDB, is an intricate catalog of mathematical objects and the connections between them.

    Interesting. Tholian designs here perhaps

    ...Thought I try making it 3D, to more closely reflect the Tholian's own geometry. :D

    A 2nd take on the 3D version, flatter but actually crystalline material this time...

    OK I think this is the final version, framed and angled for effect. :D
