What ship is this?

I saw this mug in an advertisement on Facebook. I thought at first it was the Probert version of the Enterprise C, but I looked an, no, that isn't it.

Could it be concept art for the NuTrek movies? It's got a similar bulbous nacelle thing going on.

It's a fan-made reboot Enterprise concept, like Gabe Koerner's. I can't recall the artist.

I wondered if there might be licensing issues, but they are using the Star Trek names, and other terms unique to the franchise.

No that ship is the Lollipop. It's just been commissioned.


It's a good ship.

"Your mother."

It's just a photoshop. Look at the text to the right and how it fails to follow the curve of the mug.

Well I suspect that might be because the advertiser hasn't actually produced any of these yet, so this was just thrown together quickly. T-shirt websites do this sort of thing a lot too.

So, yeah, not official or licensed I betcha.

Not sure, but it is capable of making a happy landing on a chocolate bar.

Either that or the artist is a genius at perspective, curving the text in such a manner that it appears straight from a certain vantage point captured by the photograph. Let's give them their due.

Which due? Either 1) they're a genius at perspective who applied that talent to curve text on a mug to make the item in an advertisement look fake, or 2) not. One alternative of the two is way more likely, and it's not #1.

Occam's Razor.
