The interesting thing about the Quinto photos emerging last night is how they chose to do the make-up. From what can be seen in those photos, I'm glad they took the less is more approach. The later Trek shows like Enterprise chose to use those huge Beatle wigs to make the Vulcan look.

Given Nimoy's involvement and the fact that he's the first actor to create the character, it makes sense to keep the same look. I guess it made sense to use wigs on those shows, not every actor will have the right kind of hair.
