Sein Name ist Monte Thrasher.
Hab ihm daraufhin Eine Mail geschrieben und Antwort bekommen.
I'm delighted to answer any questions.
Mike Okuda and the Trek art department loved the Insignia. I tried for a job on the show, and nearly got it. When I visited Paramount Studios he took me to show me the Romulan bridge set, which was just a back wall flat with a big screen featuring my big black abstract raptor, made with colored gels to be backlit, it was gorgeous. "We milk it!" he said, meaning they used it at every chance they got.
Perhaps it was nice to have an artwork that nobody fought over: everyone on the show had very strong ideas about how to reinvent Star Trek and bickered over every detail. People got fired and rehired and fired regularly. It was a tough rebirth. By the time they hired me -I just sent images by fax, from San Francisco far away -everyone was exhausted and out of ideas, otherwise they wouldn't have hired an outside artist. They needed something big and dramatic, for the last show of the season, when the big bad guys the Romulans show up. I was delighted to do the job, I would have done it for free, I'm such a big fan. They bought my alphabet first, then asked me to do the Insignia. They were very kind to me, and treated me like a professional, not a silly fan. I got to visit the Enterprise a couple of times, which was glorious.
I thought you might like to see the original artwork, three images, tell me if you receive them. I thought the Imperial Insignia would be a huge war bird painting on the bottom of the Romulan ship, as it was in the original show, so I made it full of detail, since the more detail you put on a model the larger it seems on-screen, But Mike simplified it, which made it more powerful, he did a good job, and added the line of writing on top.
Mike said the line supposedly says "Take No Prisoners!" but admitted it was just a random mix of letters, letters that looked good. Now you know.
The Insignia was redesigned for the J.J. Abrams movies, which I love. I like my version better, but so what. If you watch the first film closely, my Romulan script shows up just a little, as big single letters or numbers on big pillars in the cargo hold on the Romulan ship. I really love the Next Generation Romulan ship, designed by Andy Probert. My Insignia is on its nose, but you never see it onscreen because the ship is always shown dark and powerful and the Insignia is lost in the shadow.
