Designed by Kapil Bhagat for Science Day in India, these logos for great scientists have been gathered by imgur into a trellis-style presentation:

Brilliant!
They’re fun, eh? I’m a bit disappointed at the DNA, though.
Well Grant, they ARE making $ out of DNA!!
Look closer at the DNA in the logo to see my concern 😉
There’s more at Science Typography:

I love the one for Einstein 🙂
Schrodinger! Outstanding 😀
I like McClintock’s too, but then I’m a big fan of hers in general!
There’s a logo for a New Zealander now too (Rutherford).
Alison, I like it too, but I have to admit it also reminds me of ‘that’ big M company! (Whose name we shall not utter here…!)
Cath, The Schrödinger one is good eh? Your mentioning it reminds me that I had once thought to try a post on Boltzmann who, like Schrödinger, has his equation on his grave. I meant to visit Boltzmann’s grave while I was briefly in Vienna last year, but in the end couldn’t fit it in before I moved on to Slovenia because the cemetery is a bit of a dogleg out of town. Boltzmann’s equation features in molecular simulations, which is where I know it from. There’s a nice picture from Schrödinger’s grave on Flickr.
