#StarTrek Fonts: The Thread

This thread is going to cover the official typefaces used for on-screen titles and marketing materials etc. Not in-universe graphics, alien scripts or any of that.

Feedback and corrections welcome! Please check ALT text for additional context. 🧵 [001/???]

FONTS! [the word rendered using different iconic Star Trek fonts]

Current #WIP logo recreation. Plus a bonus tutorial detailing my process…

The 'How to draw an owl' meme:

1. Draw some circles
2. Draw the rest of the fucking owl

☝️ Vector recreations of the Flash Gordon logo from the 1980 film, plus a few others.

I used textures quite liberally, but I still went a bit overboard making the vinyl record and CD case in Affinity Designer. 😅 [🧵]

Detail of the first pic. Don't you hate it when the labels won't peel off?

Vector outlines of the compact disc case, screenshot from within Affinity Designer. I made layers for the back, inner tray, front, etc, all to simulate the depth of the plastic. Also, note the staples!

Vector outlines of the vinyl LP and its sticker, screenshot from within Affinity Designer. And yes, the track is a spiral! Lighting was simulated using gradients, etc. IIRC, there was only one texture used for the fine scratches.

Revising the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser refit to something more faithful to the original game asset, stripping the disco inspired structures that made it look more regal and overhauled some areas and redone the Nacelles!

Also dulled the colour of the hull

This production art is a spoof of the runnabout shuttle used in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and features a small mouse piloting a ship made from a piece of cheese.

BTW, for anyone coming from retro gaming Bsky this isn't the first logo from this era that I've recreated. There are a few other gaming bits on my ArtStation portfolio…

Thank you, thank you. Should be posting the final version(s) before the weekend.

Starfleet Design 🖍🖖 @starfleetdesign.bsky.social · 8h

Definitely a show where the parts were greater than the whole, at least by the end.

Starfleet Design 🖍🖖 @starfleetdesign.bsky.social · 8h

Leaving it here for tonight. I'm basically done, but with fresh eyes tomorrow I may spot some details that need refinement.

I'm already very satisfied with how this one came out though.

I've wanted to tackle this logo for a while, but was always a bit intimidated by it. But it was actually pretty straightforward and quick work once I got started. I really just need to finish up the shading on the owl, make some of the variant logos and decide on presentation.

The starships of @ncc-60205.bsky.social

Some are more canon than canon, while others seem to have warped in from a universe next door. But they are always brilliantly realised designs.

A redesign of the USS Protostar from Star Trek Prodigy, with a more conventional Starfleet aesthetic and some Nova-class and Kelvin-verse vibes.

A redesign of the Zheng He from Star Trek Picard, giving it more of a Sovereign aesthetic.

I believe the idea for this came from @Stu1701 who commissioned this Starfleet fighter design, very much with the form of the Naboo N-1 starfighter from The Phantom Menace. Pew pew.

The NSEA Protector from Galaxy Quest, with a TNG-ish-era redress.
