We remember Matt Jefferies mostly for designing the Enterprise. Michael and Denise Okuda suggest that his overall achievement was in making the entire world of #StarTrek feel real. This is a conversation about design, simplicity, and vision. collectingtrek.ca/2026/10/02/j...

Matt Jefferies made Star Trek look believable

Happy TOSS Birthday to Mike Minor. This guy contributed much. Conceptual & production illustrator on Star Trek: Phase II, TMP and The Wrath of Khan. He created the Melkot, the Tholian Web and the Space helmets, the creatures in Dr McCoy's office, and much more. #TOSSatNight

Zanesville Times Recorder, September 24, 1967. "I like to think my part will encourage more producers to hire Negro actors," Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols says. "Our cast and crew are entirely integrated." "But we have to fight complacency to bring more Negroes to television and movies."

Another vintage Trek logo vectorised. One of the earliest examples in fact, used on NBC advertisements for the new series. The real star is of course the original artwork by James Bama (1926-1922). This style of logo was used on early Trek products, with differences (see alt txt).

I love the cover of the UK Corgi edition of Star Trek 8. First, that's only kinda sorta Kirk. Second, they corrected the James R. Kirk on the tombstone and added in a UFP emblem, while maintaining the same birth and death dates.

60 days of Star Trek coloring books to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek. Day 56/60: The World's Longest and Most Exciting Chief O'Brien at Work Coloring Book, 2020. 300 pages of unending monotony by cartoonist Jon Adams! Each page contains six identical panels of Chief O'Brien hard at work to color.

300 pages with six panels of Chief O'Brien hard at work means that there are 1800 panels of Chief O'Brien hard at work for you to color.

Chief O'Brien hard at work by Jon Adams. Add some color to his life.

A super deep-cut piece of #StarTrek trivia: In John D.F. Black's rejected From The First Day To The Last script, he states the Jefferies tubes are lined with doodads he calls Ruggduits. This is a reference to Jim Rugg, who did special effects on every episode except for The Cage and Where No Man...

Missed in the jokes and the memes and the (for me) collector’s envy is the really odd marketing and layout here. Because apparently the name of this product is: Official Star Trek Helmet Space Fun Helmet. Where were the editors and the marketing professionals?

Filmation, the animation company for #StarTrekTAS, also worked on Aquaman. To save money they use the same motion illustrations for the swimming scenes. Something we wanted to put in the book but couldn't get the rights from DC or rather it would've been too expensive. #TOSSAtNight #TASSatNight
