Get out the china plates, someone is having a 20th anniversary! Yes, it's another landmark year in the annals of Star Trek as The Next Generation turns 20 the week of September 28, 2007. Starting now, you will begin to see a new 20th Anniversary logo on this site, as well as on packaging materials for licensed Star Trek product such as books, DVDs and more.

Conceptualized by Michael Okuda, this new design will appear in many different forms, but all communicating the same thing — it's been 20 years since Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in syndication across America and kicked the franchise up to another level of excellence, creativity and longevity. You will see variations of this logo throughout the course of this year, all to help us say: Happy 20th Anniversary to The Next Generation !

The second logo, the brighter oval-shaped one, will likely appear on DVDs later this year.
