I agree that's probably what the registry should have been, but I chose 1717 because it was closer to what was onscreen.
quote:Bonaventure's registry is right on screen: http://www.startrekanimated.com/tas_tt_04.jpg The registry is completely nonsensical; if I ever did a museum article on Bonaventure, I'd probably change it.
Exactly. Actually almost everything about the Bonaventure is nonsensical, the design, it's supposed place in history and of course the registy. None of it really fits in anywhere. So while I'm willing to make a reference or an homage to something from TAS, I will not compound an obvious error.

Harry, you are absolutely correct. I stand corrected. I want to apologize to everyone, but especially to Reverend and MinutiaeMan. You are both correct in your views. This is a creativity forum and sometimes I get caught up in the accuracy of it all and sometimes Paramount calls the shots, but not here.

Memory Alpha is a library planetoid containing scientific and cultural informaton from each planet in the Federation. It was attacked by the non-corporeal Zetarians in 2269 (TOS The Lights of Zetar).

Instead of Roman letters, maybe Greek letters (mu and alpha) should be used. You already have the name above, so mirroring the Roman initials below is a bit redundant.

I suppose so... but there's not really any difference between the Greek and Roman letters M and A. If they're uppercase, they're identical, and if they're lowercase, the "A" looks a little funny. I think it looks pretty good as is.
Besides, since when is a little redundancy in a logo a bad thing anyway? The Federation is a bureaucracy, after all...

The Intrepid logo is amazing. The Memory Alpha logo kinda reminds me of the Earthdome TV logo from B5 though.

I did actually look at the greek letters first, but as Dan points out the upper case letters are pretty much identical and the lower case don't give one much to work with. Still, it was a commisioned piece and the 'clients' are happy so I'll leave it as it is.

ISN? But that was on oval!?
I'm surprised that knowone has yet noticed the little sideways reference I slipped into the ship patches. Think unique TOS uniform.

Wow... damn hot stuff there Reverend!!! I'm just waiting for the Utopia Planitia logo.
