Reverend, I really like your TOS Ship Logos. Are they the Exeter, the Constellation, the Huron, and the Enterprise? They look totally awesome. Great job. I can not wait to see you final versions.

Yeah, knew that one was there for decades. On the travel pod scene in Trek II, the travel pod has commemorative plates lining the walls which are the Federation Founding Members seals from the FJ Tech Manual. The swan-looking one is particularly evident.

Well it was news to me. I had always been led to belive that FJ's work had been largely ignored by the production people, supposedly under orders from GR. Now with the frying pan ships turning up in TWOK, the blueprints being used in TMP and the logos appearing in TVH, it seams to be quite the opposite.

By TPTB, FJ's work was indeed ignored, but not by the Art Department. His material had a really profound impact on Trek art and design, and it shows through.

If my response sounded snooty Rev, I apologize. I had drawn out side and aerial view drawaings of the Trek IV Starfleet HQ buildings for a role-play game a long time ago and I had gone right to the old Tech Manual for the UFP symbol on the round building. I realize it probably wasn't generally known.

IIRC the Son'a also had a logo, which appeared on almost every computer screen. I'll check my "Making of"-book ASAP.

Don't fret SE, I just assumed that I had missed that tidbit. Wouldn't have been the first time I'd be very interested to see those drawings however. I've already prodded a couple of architects I know to try and get some reasonable extrapolations of the various San Francisco buildings.

I vaguely remember it being hexagonal with a generic alien glyph at the centre. I'm sure I can do something with it.

Here's an old and rather grainy version of it I've had sitting on my hard drive for the past five years or so...

I like it... although it sorta looks like Scratchy from Itchy and Scratchy!
