I looked over at the dedication plaques by Kmpr_rak at Okudagram.com and thought I'd try doing one. I went over to
http://techspecs.acalltoduty.com/plaques.html to take a look at the templates. I decided to scrap most of it and start from scratch. Ignore the stardate since I'm not sure about that yet and I know nothing about how they are figured out, so in the end I will probably just make one up. The U.S.S. Defiant plaque that I have from the Franklin Mint was a great help.
