A post from Facebook. Michael & Denise Okuda. 2 August 2023. A long time ago and far away: Our friends at Roddenberry Productions recently dredged up some notes that I sent to Gene's office way back in 1985, before ST4. I started with a question, "Why are the computer monitors round on the movie Enterprise bridge?" I noted that present-day computer screens use rectangular screens to show rectangular-formatted graphics. I wondered what kind of graphics would be used on round screens. These sketches were my answer. You can also see stylistic beginnings to what later became LCARS on ST:TNG. BTW, I was delighted to learn that GR liked my sketches enough to keep them in his files, so they could be unearthed all these years later.
