My own contest idea, and the month nearly got away from me! Oh well, here's two ideas at least.
The first one is a basic design, but I think it looks pretty good. It's still a bit more than the bare-bones Starfleet standard.
The second one is based off the old dazzle paint jobs they put on some ships around WWI. In this version, the white around the "NCC-1701" is supposed to be self-illuminating, only lighting up in non-combat conditions.
