Great ideas so far, everyone!

I'm extending the deadline by a week to allow for any last-minute submissions, and then voting will begin.

@Chetverovod it may be tough if not impossible to print the blurred image, given the 10-color restriction during printing. Perhaps you could incorporate a monochrome alternative?

Do graduated / faded hues count as more than one color, Adam? Would you prefer designs with solid colors only?

Yes and yes. Historically we have dealt with gradients by converting them into grids of dots of decreasing size, as unfortunately our shirt printer has a hard limit of 10 colors. On the plus side, this limitation helps ensure that the printed designs remain durable. I'm still wearing my 2015 t-shirt without any issues!

In monochrome.

I have been saved by Adam's deadline extension

Anyways, here's my design. Inspired by Astrotracer, I made a stylized, doodle KAF-mount filled with the infinite of space.

Good one! I like how the small lenses are in between.

Did you think about having the solid colors on top and the outlined downwards?
