So I found a pretty cool site where a guy has used Blender to create both canon and fan sets, including very recently the Enterprise-C's bridge.
His comments about the size of the bridge has made me think about a few different things, and I'm kind of interested about the ideas other people might have on them. I guess first and foremost, what would you have done with the Enterprise-C's bridge? I recognize that the reason we got what we got had mostly to do with budget, just as the version of the Enterprise-C we got had to do with budget, as this model based on designer Andrew Probert's original design for it demonstrates.
Another thing is, whenever TNG depicted anything from this "Lost Era" between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and the beginning of TNG, they basically re-used the TOS Movie Era uniforms with different undershirts, or removing them entirely (along with the belt, apparently).
So, basically Starfleet used the same uniform, more or less, for something like 80 years, which is kind of hilarious when you realize how quickly they changed uniforms in the TNG era. So this brings up another question - what uniform(s) would you have come up with to depict this era?
Speaking of TNG and uniforms, if you could go back in time and run TNG, would you still do the uniforms they used in the first couple of seasons, or would you skip right to the version they used in later seasons (and which became iconic), or would you do something else entirely?
