New Star Trek Posters Online
Posted by Rodneyon 27. 03. 2009in News Chat
Just the other day we had a look at the UK Star Trek poster, and I wasn’t impressed. I wished upon a star for a better poster as I just wasn’t impressed and my pleas to a non-existent deity of chance were answered.
I like this one MUCH better. It still borders on the floating head thing, but it looks to capture the dazzle and adventure of the original series and still says everything that the new series has been promising. Oh, and an Enterprise in flight.
A few other posters were also released, but this is by far the best in my opinion. I could see that on my office wall.
MovieWeb has the rest.

thats just a bad ass poster
Lmao I never knew why TMB is so harsh on floating head posters
But its kinda funny… floating heads poster lololol
Its not TMB that is opposed to “floating photoshop heads”, that is more my thing because of my background in graphic design.
It is a common complaint among designers and a cliche to avoid.
Just sayin.
No I think theyre lame too…most of the time
This poster is kinda cool though
floatingheadsposter!
Is it just me or does that poster look incredibly similar to the final Iron Man poster?
I mean like ‘they just cut out the heads and replaced them with the Star Trek actors’ kinda similar.
It looks very unoriginal to me. Almost to the point of algorithm. Something like
“Insert:.
Make =.
Insert , , , , .
Make , , , , =.
Make fallow .
Increase =+.
Tent =.
Overlay image .
Center .
Overlay .
Center bottom .”
This is not a real code but the idea stands. You can use this same pattern to make so many posters. I want to see something original.
Oops, it took out over half my code.
That was code? For what?
Are you drunk?
No I am not drunk. The original thing I posted was
“Create (image).
Make theme = (black)
Insert (Iconic picture).
Make (Iconic picture)=(image path layout).
Insert (character1),(character2), (character3), (character4), (character5).
Make (character1),(character2), (character3), (character4), (character5)=(character group).
Make (character group) fallow (Image path layout).
Increase (contrast), (contrast)=+(#).
Tent (image), (tent)=(light blue).
Overlay (peak scene image).
Center (peak scene image).
Overlay (title and credits).
Center bottom (title and credits).”
The problem the greater than, less than symbols instead of parenthesis.
It’s OK just a typical poster. Nothing special. There’s nothing unique about it.
lol.
yeah thats so much better than all the other abrams star trek posters that are EXACTLY. LIKE. THIS. ONE.
star trek the photoshop menace.
Who started these types of posters? I sat the SW ealey 90′s re-release right?
meh…which is a real word now.
Star Wars *cough*
That Poster Is the Iron Man Poster, but with diffrent people and a diffrent title.
And no Pegg??? I wonder if they did that on purpose… Arguably, Pegg is the most identifiable person in the film, and yet he is know for his comedic roles. Maybe they left him out to avoid giving the impression that this would be a funny/joke of a movie. JJ Abrams has been pretty “serious” about the tone of this film… so best to avoid the comedy label? Thoughts?
Yea, I think they are trying to avoid a comedic label, although I don’t think seeing Pegg would make anyone think this is a comedy, comedic actors have been known to take on more serious/less goofy roles than they did before, and images of Pegg have been fleeting at best, the concentration has been mostly on Pine and Quinto, so at wost people might think Pegg is there for comic relief, but I really don’t think anyone is going to mistake this movie for a comedy/joke movie. Just MHO.
John Cho is a comedic actor, but in the poster they make the head bigger than Anton.
This looks exactly like the recent Star Wars posters and does anyone else think it’s weird to have Kirk looking at you like a rapist? If I didn’t know better I’d say that he was the villain in the piece. And it is weird also that Bana is also absent from it.
My guess for the lack of Pegg, US box office poison. Not that many people would recognize him to begin with aside from us movie geeks.
I agree that Pegg should have at least been tucked in the back.
I wouldnt say exactly like the Star Wars posters. Especially when no one made that comparison to the Iron Man poster, and there has been a lot of “this is just like the Iron Man poster” comments too.
Well that’s more recent so that’s understandable. I don’t think this looks like the Iron Man poster really. But this is as generic summer block buster looking thing as it can get.
