Bootleg "Star Trek" famiclone logo (1995)

Another oddball "Star Trek" logo recreation, and one I hadn't seen until @portalrealm.bsky.social sent it to me yesterday. This one appeared on a bootleg 'famiclone' console manufactured in Hong Kong in the mid-90s.

This was made using the new Affinity 3.0, so not really Affinity Designer. Much the same of course, though it got quite laggy and this wasn't a complex project at all!

I kind of like it, albeit only as an example of 90s design. It would be a terrible real Star Trek logo! I didn't bother to recreate the paintbrush 'S' exactly because I didn't want this to take all weekend!

Here's the original packaging for comparison. And the console, which looks fairly nice IMO.
