The idea sounds kool and Im sure many people would like it, but I guess is up to a moderator or admin to give an oppinion or insight about the copyrights.

Insight..... the guidelines at this time, regarding Fan Art of this nature, is that it would be acceptable.
Opinion.... I have a LCARS based HoverDesk theme that I made, and use when I'm feeling Trek-ish. 
I will never upload it........ because......
1... I don't think the Fan Art/Gray Area is a correct interpretation of copyright laws. Fan Art is for me to make for personal use only, unless I get permission for the copyright holder (period). Nothing gray about it in my mind. 
2... I emailed Paramount's copyright department quite some time ago........... and I'm not at all surprised that I haven't heard from them.
But remember, that's just my opinion. One I share for the most part, only with myself.

In an 'ideal world' exactly NOTHING would be allowed to be duplicated/distributed without EXPRESS permission of the copyright holder.
Here at Wincustomize.com we have a tendency to let 'some' things through, though we are mindful of Apple logos [in particular] and when finding the source of some images on a 'home site' with clear statements prohibiting duplication/distribution we are obliged to reject the submission/s.
Other sites commonly accept/allow anything and everything, and in-so-doing we see artists such as ourselves being 'ripped' with total lack of regard for anyone's rights at all.
Final determination of what can, or cannot be uploaded lies with a community's determination of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'.
Ideally any 'Fan Art' should be entirely home-made and not sourced from copyrighted images belonging to another person or entity. In practise we get a 'grey' area which is unfortunate, but which many seem to want.
