Complex Systems Summer School 2013

Every year we have a T-shirt design contest, where CSSS Students create designs (relevant to the summer school) and during the end of the second week we vote on the one we will print and distribute to the cohort. Please post your T-shirt design below. The design will be printed on a single colored T-shirt (keep in mind which color T-shirt you would like to print on while planning your design). The print that will go on the T-shirt is limited to a two color back and a one color front.

Designs will be voted on June 11th at 2:45p.m.

Have fun and be creative!


Do note that T-shirts need to be limited to two solid colors, so things like color scaling will not work well because of the screen printing process. If you would like a high-resolution .PSD file, please see JP



The landscape are the mountains behind St.Johns, and the mandelbrot fractals are the clouds. I can make the landscape less detailed and more simple, uploads will follow - Susanne


What do you think about this? -- Andrea


Two things:

- the color could (should) be different than simple white...maybe light gray

- the network on the back has to be carefully drawn since the idea is to have a node for each of us and place it where we come from/study. The edges can then be more or less randomly assigned to have a connected net ;-)

  • Andrea, if you will revise the back drawing, kindly include Philippines =). This is a good design.=) Ren
  • Andrea, it looks good! Could you kindly include Madrid (center of Spain)? Thanks! Regina
  • Andrea, I like your design! Could you please include lebanon (east of the mediterenean)? thnx :) amara

Sure, thanks for the feedback. I will include the nodes where missing in the case it goes through the selection process, the current version is only a prototype ;-)



I was thinking it'd be cool to have the SFI logo centered on the chest, with something growing out radially, likely a CA or L-System. So like rule 110, where the pixels are mapped to a ring, and each iterate is a larger ring. Or an L-System equivalent, so there are more pixels as the rings get larger. Or a hybrid (apply rule 110, copy each pixel to 2 pixels, apply rule 110). A simpler idea would be to not do it radially, and just have a 2D CA that's being 'fed' by the logo. Basically like the 404 page on my website: Complextropy 404 page -- Nix



Not sure of a design, but something with Phase Space Camp?


  • I have created a cross words from all our names, so maybe we can print this on one sides of the T-shirt. you can find your name, let me know if i skipped any name :)-- Amara

My suggestion is actually inspired by Susanne's design with the Mandelbrot clouds. If lots of folks like it, perhaps this could be made into a bumper sticker? A plain Mandelbrot would also do; I just grabbed this one because the <3 is more obvious. -- Vanessa

Ha! this is great— I <3 Chaos would be cool too. John D
