Is This Star Trek’s 50th Anniversary Logo? (Yep!)

MARCH 16: We’ve been able to confirm that this is, in fact, Trek‘s official anniversary logo for the 2016 programming year.

ORIGINAL POST (March 7, 2015):

We’re only nine months away from Star Trek‘s golden anniversary year, and it’s time to start thinking about how CBS and Paramount will be branding the franchise’s landmark 50th birthday.

CBS and Paramount have had a history of creating specialized logos for major anniversaries in years past, but we’ve not seen anything for next year’s events — but a social media post this week may have let the cat out of the bag.

The newly-announced Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage concert series planned for next year released this image on Twitter on March 5th, revealing for the first time a golden Trek logo for the franchise’s 50th anniversary.

TrekCore reader Avery Draper tipped us off to this image, and also reported that this logo appeared on several graphics on the Ultimate Voyage website, but have since been cropped out from the remaining site images — except for this Twitter post (or this tiny version on the Ultimate Voyage Facebook page).

We don’t know for sure if this is the true 50th Anniversary logo, but it’s unlikely that a graphic of this nature would be released without corporate approval — especially since, as of this posting, the publicly-accessible press releases from the tour website still seem to have branding revision notes still visible on the downloadable documents.

Check out the last forty years of Trek anniversary logos below, and let us know in the comments how this Trek 50 design stacks up!
