    They're all great, awesome work to the artists, well deserved for all!

    That said, the Klingon and Dominion ones are quite ironic, considering the stance of the Empire represented by J'mpok regarding the Hur'q (but that's the point of showing just a few KDF ships), and the reveals about the Dominion. But that makes both work even better!

    Should have been a winner for each faction. You guys can't sign 4 posters? :trollface:
    Dominion 'needs soldiers'... don't they just grow them? :D

    They say they "need" soldiers. For all we know, that may mean they need their soldiers (the Jem'Hadar) in the "alive long enough" definition, and the recruitment is for the cannon fodder/humanoid shields placed between them and the enemies to accomplish that. :P

    Good point.


    I liked the Romulan one best out of those four. It felt most original with the immersion of the ship & no English on the poster. All of it subtlety but definitely is Romulan.

    My runner-up out of those four is the Klingon, again no English so more authentic along with the Klingon symbol, & it displays the reason, the Hur'q, for the poster.

    A close third for me would be the Starfleet. I like the red, yellow, & blue colors representing the tactical, engineering, & sciences along with the iconic communications badge. I feel the wording & sentiment has been borrowed from Starship Troopers however & doesn't come-off as very authentic of the Star Trek's Federation.

    For my fourth is the Dominion poster. I like the Dominion emblem in the background & the ships & color scheme, purplish, definitely represent the Dominion. The wording again sounds too similar to Starship Troopers & as already pointed out they grow their soldiers, but then again maybe Odo's influence has changed that somewhat.

    Again, congratulations to the winners, all four of those are nicely done.

    They're also both spelled incorrectly. Just saying.

    The Romulan poster says "Rihannsu hallh'na" - which means kinda "Romulans report (to me) now/at once"

    The Klingon poster says, "tlhInghan maH," or "We are Klingon."

    These are pretty cool, and I appreciate that they're all vertical enough to make for a decent phone wallpaper. Congratulations to the winner and runners up.

    Congrats! :)
    They kinda look similar...just different colors. I guess, the judges were going for that style.

    but I remember some silliness having to have to sign up for all these social media accounts to win something. I said heck with it.

    Did you not have another Dominion entry? If the winning propaganda has a typo for the name of the faction, that's sad. Imagine a recruiting poster for the Marines saying, "The few. The Proud. The Marnes." I doubt it would pass muster. I hope you correct it before you print it.

    Shame nobody spotted the Dominion spelling mistake, but great work anyway.

    I don't know if the misspelling could be rectified somehow before the final version, but I'd like to know: Is it possible we might get these in some wider desktop wallpaper versions?

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.
