This sadly never made it onto the screen, but the future Enterprise-D that appeared in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series finale "All Good Things..." had a bumper sticker.

For its appearance as Q's anti-time future Enterprise, the four-foot "bulldog" miniature was converted into a souped-up version of her former self. With a third nacelle planted onto the dorsal side of the secondary hull, an enlarged photon torpedo launcher, and several new phaser turrets, the future Enterprise kicked ass (briefly) in "All Good Things..." before being written out of history by the end of the episode.

According to scenic artist Doug Drexler, when he went to see the model being photographed for the episode, the visual effects department had placed a joke bumper sticker on the future Enterprise's stern.

Of course this isn't the first time in-jokes had been incorporated into the Enterprise-D during the run of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The master systems display in engineering contained several easter eggs, including a biplane, a mouse, and a rubber ducky located in the ship's schematics.

But what did the future Enterprise's bumper sticker say? According to Drexler: "We Heart Uranus".
