There is my version of the patch. The phrase means "Fortune Favors the Bold.

I based the rendering entirely around this crappy screen cap.

Aha! Now, this is the kind of new member I LIKE! And I do like your rendition of the patch. In all likelihood, the real thing's depiction of the ship in the patch looks to be more angular and 'technically-accurate,' but I think the almost. . . abstract look of your design is terrific. Well done!

Odysious: see my comments in the other thread.

Nonresonance: I basically agree with Lee on the accuracy, but very good rendition! We need some more artists around here!

Thanks for the comments. From I've observed, the logo seems to have rounded, loose feel to it. I know my version is completely accurate, but I don't think the actual version has so much detail.

Odysious, I think your NX-01 is excellent. However, I don't see all that boxy stuff hanging off the back of the ship in the screen cap. And the nacelles are definitely skewed in a more extreme direction. I also don't think there is as much highlighting around the bridge in the televised version. And I think your stars might be in the wrong place. I'm not trying to tear down your work, I actually think it's totally rad. Of course, someday some magazine or website will post the actual version, so we can see how we both went wrong. I definitely know that my latin phrase is a little long on the right, for example.

Actually, that could probaby be fixed by rotating the whole motto about 5 degrees clockwise.

Thanks for the comments Nonresonance. I can see now that the ship needs to be skewed a little more and the stars fixed up a bit. The screen caps that I have seen are a little too blury to make out if the detail of the ship is there. It is hard to say but I beleive there would be more contoure detail to it to make it more look like an NX class ship. But as you said, someday some magazine or website will post the actual version. We will see then.

Again great work Nonresonance and thanks.

I have updated the NX-02 Patch design based on Nonresonance's observations. Hope its a better fit. [Big Grin]

Cool... But how does an embroidered patch simulate a glow like that?

I've seen it done before (but I can't seem to find an example). You'd have the threads going radially, with successive circles of darker and darker thread. Of course it's only an approximation, getting an effect similar to "posterizing" the image.

I was going to make an intelligent, well thought out response congratulating the two of you and making some comments on where the badges might be accurate or not. But then I read:

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Uh Ohhhh, somebody has smiley-blindness. Or can't get a joke.

As I said before, though - nice, but reverend or now, Resonance and Odysious could do better.
