Betta'. One more suggestion on the type. I'd maybe make it thicker and try angling it up to follow along the angle of the ship. Might look cool.
Oh... and bring the end quotes in towards the rest to get it away from the black border. You could trim the kerning on the points of elipsesm too.
Ok... what was that... three suggestions? Well, it was *close* to just one...

Now that looks a lot better. Enlarging the font really helps explain the mission of the Archangel. Great work.

What type of vehicle is the Archangel? I am assuming from her lines, that the vehicle is some sort of shuttle. The Narcissus from "Alien" comes to mind. Then I look at it again and think that it looks like a lot like the Valkyrie fighter from the "Star Trek: Invasion" video game.
The graphic is up to your usual high standards, and I have been very impressed with your logos for the Akira and other starships. I am just not too keen about the motto for this class.
"Go anywhere, do anything..." is a little too broad IMHO. I would like to suggest a motto that is a little more oriented towards the vehicle's intended mission. For example, the Defiant class had "Assimilate This!".

Couldn't resist sticking this up here to show what a fine job our friend Reverend has done, although it did spur me to totally redo the CGI model so now the whole thing is 'almost' out of date. I have to stick my hand up as primary designer and modeler of the Archangel, which I envisaged as a high performance shuttle or even fighter should the need arise. There's always call for small, fast and relatively well armed ships in any navy.
The link below will take you to an early WIP shot of the new smoother design as it was a few days ago. Myself, Reverend and some of the guys at the ASDB are detailing it now...

Welcome aboard, Axeman 3D. You and Rev have done a fine job on the Archangel. Is the Archangel suppose to be the Alpha Quadrant's version of the Delta Flyer? She sure is one cool ship. Great Job.

I'll be honest, I gave up on Voyager pretty quickly and just dip into it now and again if nothing else worth watching was on, so I can assure you any resemblance to the Delta Flyer was pure coincidence. Until someone else mentioned it I really had no clue it even remotely resembled it, I just started out wanting to make a powerful utilitarian small ship that looked cool. I suppose the Voyager design team just had the same brief.
As we redesign it the Archangel is taking on a distinctly 'Defiant' tinge, the deflector always did look that way and pretty soon the intakes either side of the upper hull are going to look a little bit familiar too. Also you can see in the plans below that I've already created micro-torp pods that are cut into the wings ready for detailing.
Work progresses slowly, and it looks like it might just be myself and Reverend on the job again, with the odd note of encouragement from the others at the ASDB. I hereby encourage others to chime in with hints, suggestions and feedback as to how to proceed, what to add to make it 'technically' feasible and what to leave out. I'm no the most ardent Treknologist and I always like to have the input of those who may know more about the subject than myself.
