I have finished revamped opening credits still image mock ups with a more distinctive starfield and the new title, (due to their size I have posted the album hyperlink so click to see). I have decided to go with the original white colouring over the Directors cut gold to help reduce the overall creation time of the whole edit while at the sametime be faithful to the source material. The only problem is the only, "Galaxy" font I have been able to find doesn't extend the, "S" and the, "K" if anyone has or can find a version of this font that does please message me the website address. Comments and suggests welcome.

I hope to have the final version of the opening credits completed before early September family matters permitting.
The other aspect of the opening credits is whether or not and how to incorporate the Kirk dialogue suggested by Ziz in to the opening credit's music. If anyone has any comments or suggetions about this feel free to post them.
Now as this is intended to be a professional fan edit in every sense of the word I have decided to make the following two steps:
1.This weekend post idea suggestion threads on the six main Trek fan forums, (TrekBBS, Trek United, SFdebris's sub forum, Omega Sector BBS, and Hidden Frontier) for a limited time, (1 month) to gather further ideas, opinions, and feedback to enhance the project.
2.To include small number of small and sensible links to the TOS & TMP era fan productions that do not go against cannon,(ie: A Federation ship destroyed by V'ger could be a refitted version of the: .U.S.S. Farragut, .U.S.S. Exter, or the primary universe counterpart of the .I.S.S. Sudrian seen in Dark Frontier: Operation Deliverance with the fanfilm's captain providing a quick distress call voice over). Comments and suggests as always are welcome.
Apart from the rules mentioned above I don't want to dictate any aspect of this project so as to not stifle creativity but I would suggest that anyone helping out reads and watches SFDebris's Opinionated TMP reviews when they are reuploaded onto his website and Blip.tv account respectively even if you don't agree with it so you can can help others who do.
