Description

I thought I would make a concept for Yellow Alert based on the Red Alert I made based on Star Trek: Picard Season 3. This one follows the thought that the shape remains the same, just changed to yellow.

One major consideration I am taking, the Federation has multiple different races from different worlds. One fact we are aware of on Earth, the different animal species have different ranges of visible light spectrum. This means that having a graphical alert that only changes color and a minor change to text may be difficult for a race where, in the least, Red and Yellow appear the same. This consideration would suggest that the pulse pattern and something with the symbol should be significantly different. For this attempt, I am following what I found on the graphical alert symbols, suggesting that the symbol remains the same. But, I chose this light bar pulse pattern because Yellow Alert is where crew are prepped to battle stations without the ship taking a full defensive stance. While in Red Alert, the ship would switch to conserve power from unnecessary systems, which involves dimming primary lighting across the ship. Yellow Alert would not dim the lights, so the default state for the light bars would be in a high state, where as the default state for Red Alert is at a low state to reduce power consumption. A brighter display will help compensate for the well-lit ship.
