Poll of the Week: Design Aesthetics

[Laria Herren]

When a new Star Trek series is on the horizon, the question of what the show will look like is always at the forefront of speculation. Will the show borrow visuals from previous shows or carve a new direction for itself? Recently the divergent design aesthetics between The Original Series and Discovery have been a topic of great debate among fans. Changes to sets, props, costumes, and makeup have given Discovery its own unique visual style rather than embracing the visuals of the Kirk era.

With seven television series and more than a dozen movies, there is no shortage of design aesthetics as the various directors and artists have taken the direction of the show’s visuals in new and interesting directions. Everyone is bound to have their personal favorite look for the show. Today's poll asks you which design aesthetic you liked the most. Is the original still the best, or do you prefer the new changes made by Discovery? Let us know what your favorite Star Trek design aesthetic is in this week's poll!

I like the design of the DS9 era with more (subtle) technological advacement but the uniforms of the first few TNG seasons.

I like the Voyager/DS9 uniforms and the Voyager color schemes the best.  Not quite so 'we're on a cruise ship', not quite so 'we're on a ship of war'.

I agree with Oddas, I like Voyager style, a compact exploration/science ship.

Voyager era for me as well. Very snappy stuff

DS9/Voy were my favorites. They were understated enough not to get in the way, but still really felt like they existed and were designed by a futuristic society.
