What Is the Simplest Artistic Representation of Nucleotide Symbols ACGT?

[DaveC426913]

TL;DR

Looking of the simplest (almost abstract) representation of the DNA nucelotides

My brother is a gene scientist and wants a piece of art that contains the symbols of the four nucleotides ACGT.

He described the symbols as "really nothing more than the benzene ring with a bump in certain places".

What is the simplest possible way to symbolically represent them? (i.e. short of just using the letters "A","C","G" and "T").

These are overly complex:

These are pretty close but too simple - so simple that C and T are nigh indistinguishable, as are A and G.

and this is overly complex:

There are lots of DNA or nucleotide jewelry out there:

Then there is this:

OK, so those symbols are all unique - unlike the ones I found.

(I should be clear, I'm not looking for art. I'm looking for the simple symbols so I can stamp them out of sheet metal.)

There are also cookie cutters:

OMG! That site has the world's worst search feature!

After 20 minutes I have only found C and G.

Even searching bakerlogy atcg thymine cookie cutter (which is the store and full name of the item) turns up 486 results and none of them are relevant.
Same with cytosine.

How does this site survive?

Anyway, thank you. I can work with those.

I had to flip them around to match them up correctly:

per this:

So these will be stamped out of sheet metal ( as pairs, they will form the bases for potted plant holders that will be bound by inner and outer helices). Designing it in Blender.

I have to decide if the stamped design should include the (pink) pentose.

The pink and blue form the backbone of each of the two strands. An unpolymerized monomer would be yellow-pink-blue.
Code specificity resides in the yellow parts.
I think the hydrogen bonds should be the closest parts of the two bases. They are holding the two parts of the molecule together. They look rotated to me.

You're right. The pentose is structurally part of the helix backbone, not the nucleotides. Thanks.
