Brainstorming some visuals/themes before the vote closes:

Nightingale

• Clean and dirty environments melding
• A pattern to represent her data collection

Noether

• Maybe something related to the world or nature
• Something symmetrical or patterned since her theorem lets physicists get conserved quantities from symmetries of the laws of nature
• Something inspired by fibonacci
• Leaf patterns, waves
• Something in Blender multiplied and dispersed

Nye

• Graphic art inspired by 90’s school posters
• Chalk textures like chalkboards used to demonstrate and teach science

Newton

• Perhaps something with prisms, crystals or showing white light being converted into the rainbow that makes up white light
