Developing The Dedication Plaques

Something I have been considering the past couple of days has been what the dedication plaques aboard the ships of an altered 2265 timeline might looked like.

The Trek franchise has already shown us that the one aboard the original TOS Enterprise was much, much simplier than that aboard those in the later centuries represented in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager.

However, it felt appropriate not to go quite as simple as what they had in the original show.

So where would the middle ground be? … What would be a look that was simple yet had a foundation that might be slightly more stylish than that original show?

After playing around with a couple of different concepts, I finally ended up going with plan text on a simple plaque design, but you will note that I used the delta insignia for the grommets in each of the four corners.

The image above has had a lighting affect added to it to simulate a spotlight shining on it as might be the case aboard a ship.

The one below is the same, minus the lighting.
