Seaborgium, 106, Quinebaug Valley Community College, Connecticut U.S.A.
Seaborgium: The seaborgium (Sg) tile was created by Clay Merrill who designed the entire image on computer. The concept arose from that fact that element 106 is synthetically prepared; hence the use of computer graphics and readily available images to “synthesize” the image.  One of the chemistry instructors met Glenn Seaborg in 1989 during a summer institute at the University of California, Berkeley. The awesome impression he made, propelled her to register for Sg as top-choice-element for the Periodic Table Project. We hope that Seaborg’s family sees the image and recognizes it as further homage to his memory.
