New Enterprise with Old School color scheme

[O'Dib]

Anyone seen this propaganda poster in a recent Trek comic book (2nd issue of the prequel series to the coming film)? I think it wonderfully demonstrates that the new design would've looked even better with the original color scheme. Thoughts?

Never knew Starfleet used propaganda.

The one off to the right isn't the film version, it's one of Ryan Church's unused designs. You can tell by the nacelle covers and the fact that the nacelles are spaced wider than the film version.

It's the version I wished they had used.

The nacelle caps and main dish are closer to the original, but this isn't really the TOS paint scheme. Hull font is still ST09, and there's no swanky red stripes.

I saw this. I like it, but it's an incredibly lazy photoshop job that somehow has managed to become a semi-official piece. You can tell every single one of those "ships" is from the Art of Star Trek concept art book, just with what looks like the poster edges photoshop filter applied to it.

So yeah, it's cool I guess, but it'd be cooler if the artist bothered to create some new renders instead of just photo shopping existing images.

The ship remains hiddious... no matter how you paint it.. yuck.

saucer and a bunch of sticks? looks good to me.

 

[Santaman]

Whiiiiine.. but but, I want straight sticks and a indented sauuuuucerrrrrr

It looks better with the nacelles spaced out wider like that, but I prefer the blue over the gold.
