I think by picking an instantly recognizable ship, you run the risk of branding the site as that universe. Maybe a rotating logo of various ships?

[Stormkeeper]

Rather, just come up with your own, yet somehow adding something that instantly relates to SciFi.

[ktistai228]

indeed that is my opinion too. as for the logo, I should of mentioned it before.
See the Moloch ripping a hole in that Deimos on the superior right part of the wiki? that's what I need replaced. the ideea with a rotating logo could work.
I will be home in about 3 hours and will give you a helping hand.

[Stormkeeper]

I will be home in 26 hours, and will be able to do more then.

Ok... so we need a list of ships for the rotating logo.

Ones which are well known:

X-wing (Star Wars)
USS Enterprise (Star Trek)
GTD Orion (Freespace)
The ship out of Decent (Does anyone actually know what it is called? Cause I dont) (Decent)
Red Dwarf (Red Dwarf)
Battlestar Galactica (Battlestar Galactica) (Don't you just love it when the show is named after the ship?)

And on a more recent note,

USG Ichimura (Dead Space)
Forward Unto Dawn (Halo)

And more

[ktistai228]

well... I dunno... 
I agreed more to Stormkeeper, so to come up with our own logo, not take ships from other universes and lumping them all together.
Also, is anyone working on the FreeSpace page on StarShips, as I would like to start working, but I don't want to override with someone.

[Blue Lion]

You want to make up a ship?

[ktistai228]

not necessarily a starship. Something that is related to all the sci-fi universes.

[Blue Lion]

I think that would be "space"

[FreeSpaceFreak]

A planet?

[ktistai228]

could be. also, one more thing. since BlueLion, Stormkeeper and Scotty are helping out with StarShips, I think their opinion counts too, not only mine and Death0angels.
i like the planet idea, but I feel there is something missing to it.

[Mongoose]

Maybe a planet with an engine trail cutting across part of it.  It gets the "spaceship" message across without having to actually show a specific ship.

[Stormkeeper]

Mongooses' idea sounds good. But the trail should be subtle without smacking you in the face.

[aurora_energy]

maybe you could ask one of the modders to make a model for you... then fred it into a mission and take a screenshot
