Question is, did I get the lines and angles right? And, beyond that, does that actually look cool, or do my eyes deceive me?
(BTW, if you don't know what the hell that is, look here: http://ocean.otr.usm.edu/~randers2/STSWthisthing.html . . . but understand that the one used on the walls was all curvy, but I think the ship banner one was squared off.)
Thanks for all input!

Looks pretty good to me, although I'm not sure if the ship one was squared off or not. But it does actually look quite cool. .

I haven't been able to find a good shot of the one on the model that's close enough for me to be able to tell. I want to say that the ERTL model had them squared off, but I don't remember exactly. So far, the best shot I've found is this:

Ah, crap. I found the decal sheet online sold by Thomas Models. The thing is all curved . . . not a corner to be found anywhere. Grr. Back to square one . . . or, actually, not.
Update:
Ugh . . . unless you square it off, the thing just keeps ending up looking like a banana. Grr. Hellwiffit . . . I'm keeping the corners.

It's funny - cause the one on the nacelle looks like the bottom part is 'cut off' - and the top isn't cut off but continues like the wall version... then on the Engineering section one - the opposite seems true - that the bottom continues but the top is squared off.

Here's a pic of the symbol from the restored Enterprise from the Smithsonian. I assume they would've been faithful in recreating the emblem during the restoration, but you never know...
