Design company G Creative, which develops advanced graphic work for feature film and commercial productions, managed the creation of the vast majority of the Starfleet display graphic for the Enterprise, the Franklin, and Starbase Yorktown for Star Trek Beyond.
Now, their professional portfolio of Star Trek Beyond design work is online for all to perused, filled with detail never seen so closely in the film. Here are a few selections from their creations:
You may note some inconsistencies with the final film; in these graphics the starbase is still called ‘Yosemite,’ and the old Starfleet ship from Altamid is still labelled the ‘USS Frontier,’ both early names for each from drafts of the Star Trek Beyond script.
Also of note is this shot featuring Captain Edison’s Starfleet service record, noting the registry number of the USS Franklin as NCC-7317. This version of the graphic actually made it into the theatrical run of Beyond — we noted it on Twitter back in 2016 — but it was corrected to NX-326, matching the correct number, for the home media release.
