It’s a friggan’ logo. I have a lot of Star Trek fans in my family and they think you argue about the dumbest things.

Good grief. Is it *that* big a deal?

Anyway, who knows what it looks like in the final cut? The official site (startrekmovie.com) still has the old tilt.

C.S. Lewis

I’m sorry to read of your heart situation and also hope that your wife’s pregnancy works out well.

That said, I cannot say either with any great warmth towards you. You persistently patronise everybody on this board and, in a desperate attempt to mimic the author CS Lewis, you persistently write the some of the most pompous prose I have ever read on a message board.

Believe it or not, many of us have big worries, so you’re far from an exception. My Dad is ill, possibly something brain-related, and we are very concerned about him, but I haven’t chosen to swing that around a message forum as both sword and shield to justify an obnoxious attitude. Sometimes, I’m just plain old unjustifiably obnoxious! ;)

Perhaps during your hospital stay and your recovery, you could consider your view towards other people here and come back a nicer person who wants to chat rather than take out your fears for yourself on all of us, who are generally a friendly inclusive bunch!

Good luck and God speed!

As for the logo . . . hmm . . . wait and see how it looks in motion. I get the feeling that it spreads out as the camera moves towards it!

Oh, I hated the one they came up with for previous Movies too by the way, but that’s just me. I take my ‘typography’ on Movies/Movie merchandise seriously. I can’t help it, it’s the designer in me. I loved the original TOS series look, either in yellow or blue.

Okay, I gotta say that I absolutely DETEST that new ‘vertical’ typeface. This counts as another Production Design mis-step to me personally, but others may like it.

I far prefer either of the previous trailer ones, myself.

Is this just an unnecessary way of ‘distancing’ new audiences away from the original source series?….

It makes perfect sense.
The old logo was way better than the new one.
It had a lot more “personality”.

This blows. It looks like a cheap fan-made logo, which is basically made like this

1. find a similar font on the net (no italics)
2. pay no attention to kerning
3. add ugly gloss/shine

Reminds me of my early Photoshop experiments back in 1999

That’s a 100% MEH
