Icons of Science

Background: Solid, calming teal (#008080 or similar rich, clean teal). Layout: Balanced, minimalist split design with generous white space around elements for clarity and elegance. Left Side: A clean, line-art sketch of Maria Skłodowska-Curie (profile or three-quarter view, thoughtful expression, perhaps with subtle scientific motifs like a faint atomic symbol or notebook in the background). Beside or beneath her sketch in elegant, modern serif or sans-serif gold font (e.g., Cinzel, Playfair Display, or Montserrat Bold in metallic gold #FFD700): “Poland gave us Maria Skłodowska-Curie.” Right Side: A matching-style line-art sketch of Galileo Galilei (holding a telescope or with celestial elements subtly integrated). Accompanying text in the same gold font: “Italy gave us Galileo Galilei.” Bottom Center (slightly larger or bolder for emphasis): “Your country gave us…?” Overall Aesthetic: Educational, inspiring, globally-minded. Clean lines, high contrast, and a touch of historical reverence—perfect for sparking curiosity and civic pride among teens and educators. Designed for Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook with square (1:1) and story (9:16) adaptability. Enhancement: Add a subtle, transparent world map watermark in the background at very low opacity to reinforce the global theme—without distracting from the portraits or text. Ratio 1:1.
